I couldn't get the pictures to work...
But your dragon could lay the eggs for the first time even at 5 y/o.
If your dragon has never been brumated it is doubtful she would lay eggs. A brumation period is actually healthy for them, so you may want to consider lowering the temps for about 1.5 months in the winter. You want to simulate natural conditions in a captive environment to keep your reptile healthy. If she doesn't mate she will have infertile eggs. But this is how nature works. Remember reptiles have been around since the dinosaurs have walked the planet. Its worked this way for a LONG time

I have a male dragon who favors shutting one eye, and has so since I got him in December. It is just his thing to do but I did take him to the vet for a wellness exam to make sure he was okay.
My female dragon slacked off on eating and started digging in corners so I also took her to the vet for xray or sonogram to see if she had eggs, rather than worrying her and wondering. She didn't.
Sometimes it turns out to be just one of those things.

How's things going with your dragon?
Since I mentioned a brumation period you'll probably be amazed at how I brumated my gila monsters and beaded lizards. November 1st I turn off the heat and lights. I let the reptile room temp drop down to 50°F. I turn on lights and heat again march 1st. During brumation I just check to make sure they are breathing every day.
Don't do it that way for bearded dragons
