Anxiously awaiting the new beardies
It could be my anxious imagination or maybe it’s that time, but I think the eggs are starting to sweat. According to my guide through this whole process, The Bearded Dragon Manual
This morning, I’m pretty sure I see small dents forming in two of the eggs. That should indicate they will soon collapse. If I’m right, that means we may have baby bearded dragons running around by Friday.
There were a few more today that were obviously bad. That leaves us with nine eggs. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that at least a few of them hatch successfully.
I have a bearded dragon named Sassy that I’ve had since she was just a baby. She’s never been around any other beardies. I didn’t even know she was a girl until this morning when she laid 2 eggs. She was born in October 2005. Is this normal?
Hi Karen. From the care sheet at Sundial Reptile, it seems that some unbred females will lay eggs. This can be a one time occurrence or she may lay eggs on multiple occasions. If you keep an eye on her behavior you can usually tell when she’s ready to lay eggs. The most common behavior is digging. If you see her start digging around her cage, you should move her to a nesting box where she can deposit her eggs. I usually leave my female in the nesting box overnight and return her to her cage in the morning. You want to be sure she has been given ample opportunity to lay all of the eggs she is carrying so she does not become egg bound.
