Where is the pouch? We can't see it. Beneath the beard it's not available to lay the eggs in besides being a greatly artistic act.

It would lay large eggs as a 56m long monster won't lay eggs of the size of less than 1m length. Even that would be 56 times smaller than the original layer of eggs and at that size that's unlikely as they need to grow much more than need to. Also the bigger something is the more likely it bears live young. White sharks bear live young that already hatched in the body of the mother. That's called Ovovivipary. We do it as well, the ovum is more or less a very advanced egg that we kind of need to hatch out first if you want to call it like that.

Early reptiles are still partly amphibian what Ceadeus isn't.

Whales can do it without having a child with gills so why can't Ceadeus? It just needs to lift the young after it's born.

It's a freaking lot more easier that way than with an egg.
