Hello! I have female bearded dragon and she's been digging in her sand a lot in past couple of days, most people say that it's because she is preparing to lay eggs but she never mated and i don't have another beardie with her, ive also read that sometimes female beardies can lay eggs without mating is that true? Should i prepare to start caring about baby beardie? Please if someone can help me out, that would be great!

They can lay infertile eggs. You don't need to worry about caring for babies, just discard the eggs. In the meantime I would build a dig box for her with damp play sand and organic topsoil mixed together to a consistency that will hold a tunnel. Start a bit of a tunnel for her or use an inverted box with one side cut out. She may dig a tunnel and lay her eggs and be done with it. This can deplete calcium so I would prepare some calcium rich foods for her to eat after she is done.
