I have two EWDs, about 20months old, one male, one female in the same enclosure.
The female has rapidly gained weight recently. She's been dominating the bigger male recently and hogging the food.
The male was very sick recently and the female has dominated him since.
The female is regularly head bobbing and arm waving at the male, and chases him off the basking spot.
The female is very plump, and when gently feeling her tummy, I think I can feel a small firm lump which I'm wondering if it's an egg.
How long does it take them to develop a clutch of eggs? Apart from getting fat, what other signs of her being gravid will I see?
