Hello,

I Would separate them ASAP. The Female is most likely stressed and the male is probably over-breeding her and bullying her. Could You post some pictures of them and their setups? and the Eggs?

Definitely separate them. In the wild she could get away + relax, but in this situation it's constant stress. Is she of good weight for egg laying ?

Yes she's good weight and I've checked the eggs and there's about 9 to 10 that's fertile and I have separated them as he won't leave her alone and she looks like she aint happy about it tbh lol but everything's good now he's still trying to bob and jump around when he sees her but he carnt get to her

As long as she can see him, it is stressful for her. Best to keep them out of each other's view.

That's very sad to hear =(. I wonder if she just never recovered from developing and laying the eggs. I'm glad to hear her babies are doing well.

I'm Glad the eggs turned out well but That's so very sad to hear that Lizzy died! :eek: :cry: I Hope your male and the 12 babies will be ok. :) It could've been from stress. Especially the egg laying because it takes a huge toll on the females. :( May she rest in Peace.

I'm thinking that maybe be it could be that as she never seemed to be right after laying the eggs didn't eat much and she never seemed to gain any weight she looked really skinny however baby's are fine but male seems abit down thinking maybe he's noticed she's not in her tank bless him

That probably is what happened, She most likely didn't recover well from the eggs and stress. :( and I Hope your male beardie will get happier. :) Hopefully your dragon is just trying to cope with the change and will be better soon.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
