They usually turn grey shortly before they shed and sometimes they can be grey for days even weeks before they shed. This is an example of what one of my dragons looked like shortly before he shed and after: http://helpforyourpet.com/2010/11/before-and-after/ The change in color can be quite drastic especially as they're growing up. There's usually no change in appetite, but they sometimes become a bit more moody during this time. They usually enjoy a bath and being misted daily with water to help them shed.

Females should be full-grown and about two years old before being mated. Mating a female that is too young can cause a shorter life-span, stunted growth, and nutritional problems. Laying eggs can take a toll on her body, so make sure she is getting plenty of calcium and eating a healthy diet with more protein and fat than usual. It is possible for young females to lay eggs. (I had a 10 month old from a breeder that laid two clutches when none of my other females had done that before). How old was she when you got her? If she was seven months or older and had been around a male, it is possible that she had been mated before you got her. It is also possible for females to sometimes hold sperm for several months and lay more than one clutch from one interaction. I hope this information helps.

Over the last eighteen weeks she has laid eggs twice, 6 weeks apart, she is now digging again and I think she is ready to lay again. She is a lone female, is this normal?? The petshop has recommended that I put her with a male, but I feel she is too young for this. Any advice ?? Many thanks Hi,

If not, you can leave them together for about a day. Just don't leave them together for an extended time, because the male will continuously mate with the female and stress her out. If you keep a female baby, you can probably keep her with her mother when she is full-grown at about 18 months. Although, not all females are accepting of other females especially when they have previously been kept alone and sometimes they can become more aggressive at certain times of the year (like breeding season). You should be prepared to keep them separate if need be. I hope this helps. Usually, if you put a male together with a female he will get the deed done quickly (like in seconds).

The more entertainment and distractions you can give them the better. I gave my adults a big sand castle the other day, and they had a great time destroying it and digging in it. It kept them entertained for about a day and a half! Great advice! The more entertainment and distractions you can give them the better.

Image you stuck in a small room and nothing to do, you go nuts, so to avoid them from going stir crazy, the TV is great.
