Typical changes/signs
1-4
Appetite remains pretty steady. Increased restlessness starts, or continues if started before egg development.
4-5
Appetite starts to falter as eggs begin to compress intestines and other organs. May eat only small amounts every couple of days or less. Water intake increases. Feces become very small and appear only the day or two after the last food intake. Urates may become thicker, yellowier. May become quieter during this period, basking more. Previously stand-offish females may be more receptive to petting/attention, while tame females may become more prickly about physical contact.
5-6
Eating intermittently, only small amounts. Drinking deeply daily or every other day. Urates and feces affected accordingly. Despite reduced food intake, there is no apparent loss of weight (the eggs are taking up some of the space formerly filled by the well-stocked, but now depleting, fat pads).
~6.5-7
When stroking the iguana along the sides of her abdomen, you may begin to feel two soft swellings, one in front of the other (as you stroke from ribs towards the front of where the hind legs join the body). These are eggs.
7.5-8+
Tail may be getting thinner (in the hip area and down the tail). Body still broad across the abdominal area from the developing eggs. The bulges previously felt when stroking the sides may now usually be seen to cause small outward bulges along the sides. It is usually 5-7 days after you can see the eggs bulging from the sides that they are ready to lay...
