Some beardies never lay, and some lay more than others. Yes, 2yrs old is the general age that they start to become gravid (female bearded dragons lay eggs without mating) but each beardie is different and she could be just a little late. Watch out for symptoms of being gravid, such as glass...

Glass surfing, digging, eating better, no black beard spotted so far. Exhausted after laying though, and she just laid 1 more

It is also her first time laying eggs

No... she has 2 different lay boxes and both with different substrates. Instead she just laid them loose in the tank, not sure why

Just laid 4 more! Relief!!

Woke up and she laid 2 eggs!! Go Sandy!

Thank you. I had no idea that cricket quencher was bad for dragons! We caught around 4-5 mostly in the kitchen/hallway area. Its around 76*F so hopefully they will not breed if any are left over.

Somehow the crickets I put in Sandy's tank to eat escaped? I have some cardboard along the side of the tank for privacy during egg time but it backfired.. does anybody know what to do? Will they cause an infestation? Will they breed? I have no idea how many escaped but I'm hoping not many. o_O

@AHBD Just came back from the vet, she is doing great, eggs just aren't formed yet! She's going back in a month to check up on her if she didn't lay her eggs. They also sent her home with some medicine as her tummy was in pain.

Could be a respiratory infection, are you using a coil for the UVB light?

You're so welcome! Please post if you have any more questions, there are some great beardie experts on this website who have loads of knowledge.

To me that looks like tail rot. @AHBD @Drache613

She sounds as healthy as a horse! Seems like you're taking good care of her. Make sure to check out all the great articles in the resources tab, they can help you with taking care of her.

Licking is completely normal. Bearded dragons do that to get more familiar with their surroundings. So for example, if I add a new rock to my bearded dragon's tank, she comes and licks it to see what it is. Just be careful in case your dog has any dirt or anything that could be harmful to her on...

You can feed her collard greens, carrots, blueberries, yellow squash, cucumbers, lots of great food out there for her to try! Just be careful though, there are some dangerous foods out there like iceberg lettuce. (learned the hard way as a beginner)

Thank you! Her stomach seems to have gotten bigger, I held her upside down yesterday and saw tons of lumps! But when I touch her stomach, I don't feel anything round or hard. What are the chances of eggs bursting, and what are the chances of reabsorbing the eggs?

Sounds good, are her insects coated in calcium/vitamins? And do you feed her salads?

Thats good to hear! What does she eat?

If possible I would try getting a second opinion about surgery from a different exotic vet.
