Has my Eastern water dragon gone into brumation

[deuzster]

Yesterday i noticed my female eastern digging in her hide pushing all the dirt. Covering most of the entrace to her hide and has stayed in there sleeping. I can see her through the gap so i know she is breathing i first though she was going into brumation but isnt that in winter? no going into summer

Just let her do her thing. Is she gravid?

[deuzster]

She came out and she is 3yr old nah she doesnt have a man friend i got her one he was bigger her her but only 2yr old she dominated him kept attacking him so i had to give him back

By coming out i mean laying on her log

cool mate. This all sounds like normal behavior

she cant be gravid can she ? dont they need a male i beleive she is just fat lol i put her on a diet to many crickets shes on bok choy and butternut every 3-4 days

 

[Grogshla]

I am not sure if they need a male or not mate perhaps some1 else can help here. Yeah dragons can be very greedy when it comes to food. I would keep giving her crickets and wood roaches but only half of what you normally give her if she is a fatty

What's your humidity like? Sometimes when they are feeling dehydrated they will dig into moist, cool soil/sand and rest there.

all is good from what i can gather has plenty of water to swim in and drink

Apparently they can sometimes lay with no boy, my female has never done this though and shes coming up to 6 years old.

Yes they can become gravid without a male.
