A while ago I adopted a female beardies. I had no idea that she was carrying eggs until she started digging one night. The next day we found 18 eggs. They all had a heartbeat so I didn't have the heart to freeze them (don't judge) we kept them in vermiculite in a tub with holes at a constant temp and this week they started hatching. All seemed OK until one that we have had at teatime. While trying to transfer it from the tub to the viv, the dragon seemed to roll on it side with its mouth wide open as tho it was trying to flare its beard at me. I thought it maybe scared as a few have been. But since it's been in the viv it hasn't picked up, just seems to lay there. I know they are often exhausted for about 24 hours but this just doesn't seem right at all. I lifted it to check it wasn't deformed or injured etc but it just stayed limp and opened its eyes. Is there anything I can do apart from wait or is this perfectly normal and will hopefully pick up?
