Thank you!
 
Looks gravid to me :) They are a small species but are able to breed before the one year mark.
 
Definitely gravid with only the one egg, as can be seen best seen from the underneath shot.

Cheers Blue!
Would it be only one egg due to her size? She is kinda tiny, but I have always have a bowl full of calcium powder just in case ;)
 
As I understand it, this is related to both the available room in the abdomen and also the available resources (body condition). Either or both may be exercising their influence here but my money would be on room at this stage.

Thanks Blue, she layed it sometime when I was away. Crickets got to it before I could :(
 
What a bummer! Sorry to hear to hear that.

For the future, woodies are a far better alternative if they must be left in overnight. Leave a piece of carrot in the feed bowl to entice the woody to come out to get a feed - works well. Crickets have been known to bite and even seriously damage sleeping lizards. Woodies are total vegetarians and are apparently more nutritious from what I can ascertain.
