Gravid dragon or something else.

Hi I have a female that has recently started digging everywhere in her enclosure. Im not sure if she is gravid or something else. I'm not sure how old she is. Here are some pictures of Celia and her holes!
This is completely new behavior for her. Everything else is normal. She is eating as normal. Any information would be great.

She is probably gravid - I would get a lay box set up for her and see what she does
LAYBOX

Plain topsoil that doesn't have any type of chemicals or fertilizers in it, mixed with sand, etc. Be sure it is at least 10-12 inches deep & that the mix is damp enough to where it will hold up to her making a burrow but not sopping wet to have standing water.

Ok that's what I was thinking. Do I just put that into her enclosure with her? She currently has about 3 inches of topsoil and sand in her enclosure. That's not deep enough?

I would say not and yes put it in her enclosure - how old is she and has she layed before? Gonna get some one more experienced than me to chime in here

I'm not entirely sure how old she is, I have had her for just over 4 months. I wouldn't assume she is a year old, the pet store I bought her from didn't tell me her age. No she has never laid before. All my research points to gravid or brumation.
