my dragon, which we always thought was a boy laid eggs. I had no idea he was going to. He was digging a lot, but i didn’t think much of it because he always digs. He laid his eggs in his terrarium, and he hasn’t been getting extra food or anything. He is also very small for his age. Is he going to be okay?!?!

Hello,
I am assuming that she has not been with a male, correct & that these are infertile?
All you need to do is make sure she has adequate UVB lighting along with plenty of good
calcium & greens to eat to keep up her bone strength.
Is she eating pretty well?
How many did she lay?

Hello, please give us any all info you have on age, weight, legnth, etc, along with everything you can about his setup (lights, heat, UV, brand, terrarium, length, thermometers, etc).

Hello,
Phineas is a great name for her!
As suggested, we can help review your setup just to be sure everything is all correct in case
something might be off a little bit.
Are you giving enough calcium since she just laid eggs? Is she eating since she finished laying?

Hello,
This is what you posted in the report. You can post here instead of making a report, so we can
all help out here.
"Well she is about 17 inches long. 3 inches wide and about a inch thick. Her cage is 45 inches long. 19 and a half inches tall. And 16 inches wide. She refuses to eat crickets. So I feed her supers with calcium. She often eats kale and collard greens. She spends a lot of time on her hammock. She hasn’t been eating well since she laid her eggs. But she still is very happy acting."
If she isn't eating very much, you may need to intervene some if she is losing some weight. You
can get some chicken or turkey baby food along with sweet potato or squash baby food to mix
together. Use either a plastic syringe or dropper to drip onto her nose to see if she licks any of
the food off of her nose.
Are you using a UVB light for her? If so, what type & brand is it?
Let us know how she is doing.
