I would suggest that you pm Bama Beardies. He is a breeder who frequents this forum. I am so sorry I cannot help...My suggestion is for you to put her in your laybox and see what happens...But wait on jay to come along...I am sure he will have additional suggestions...10 weeks is not impossible to have a gravid dragon...see what Jay has to say...Take good care B

If she seems at all sick or "off", I’d take her to the vet to shoot an x-ray. The eggs are usually visible like grapes if the film is good quality. There are medicines to "induce" egglaying if she’s retaining them and retained eggs can be fatal to the dragon.

Feel for eggs in a luke warm bath first off. In my opinion if its been 10 weeks shes done fore the year, Unless she was bred again. If shes just being fat and lazy, have a fecal float test done at the vets office. To me it sounds like shes done for the year.. and ready to be lazy.. but always get a fecal done just to be sure the stress of breeding/laying hasnt caused a secondary problem. -Jay
