Hi, Ive had my first beardie for 3 years now, her name is Beelzebub, I recent got a boy (Different tank obviously) about 3 months ago, his name is Matcha, he is a year and a half old, and brought home a second female about 6 weeks ago named Rose. Rose laid eggs tonight, now this isn't an issue, but I had no clue that she would lay so soon. Beelzebub never has, which Im confused about, but she's happy and healthy, no problems with eating or defecating. Rose is about a year and a half, I didn't know she was going to lay eggs and wasn't prepared for it. Its late so I couldn't go to the store for any supplies except Walmart to get a little bin and some repti-sand for her to dig in so she has somewhere to lay more eggs until tomorrow. Any chance anyone can give me some advice on how to care for her and her eggs during this time?
Now for Beelzebub, as I said has never laid, I've had her since she was a hatchling, I've check to make sure she was a female multiple times and will be taking her to my new vet to confirm. But I wanted to know if this was normal or if I should be concerned? once again, she seems fine, eats a lot, poops look healthy, and she's active, other than when she's sleeping. (PS. No dragons share terrariums, all have their own.)
questions for Rose are:
What do I need?
How do I care for these eggs if any are fertilized?I don't have enough money for a good incubator so whats a good way to incubate them in a cheaper fashion?(I have no idea if she was around any males before I adopted her, and if she's ever laid eggs before.)
I have 0 clue how long her eggs were laying out before I got her a laying box, will these eggs be okay if they do have babies in them?
What are good things to feed little rose to make sure she's getting the nutrients she needs?
Is it normal for my dragon to want more attention and support while she lays?(She seems to want me to be around, almost as if me petting her head is helping.)
How do I make sure she's hydrated while laying other than making sure her little bowl has fresh water?
I gave her a couple horn worms, she didn't want crickets or super worms.
Questions for Beelzebub:
Is this normal?
Will she ever lay eggs if I am correct about her being a female?
Should I be concerned or changing anything diet wise or anything?
Thank you anyone who helps!
