hi smicky, I have not done this (but it appears I may be).

from looking at the picture yes, she does look gravid. you should remove the male now. only tegu lizards will build a nest. provide lots of hay, grass, and or leaves. also, they tend to drink large amounts of water to moisten the nest. shortly after she makes the nest she will begin to lay the eggs.

the clutch should be 86 - 90F

you are going incubate ?
