Beardies acting VERY weird

[jdishon95]

Hey everyone.. Recently my two females have began acting very odd. At first my 1 year 2 mo. old was digging at the corners of her tank very often so I made her a dig box and she laid 17 infertile eggs. She then calmed down for about a week and a half and now she is frantically glass surfing day and night, her stomach feels empty and I don't understand why. She is also pooping clear water every so often. She eats dubia roaches, mustard greens, and collard, along with squash and carrots.
My younger beardie who is also female is around 10months-11 months old, and she has been glass surfing OFTEN lately as well as had interesting poops.

Is this a spring mating related behavior? or is something wrong.
Notes: My older beardie's back looks like its about to shed.

Thank you for any help!

Hello,

Well, it does sound like typical egg laying behavior. Your other girl may not have laid all of her eggs & still has some left to pass, possibly if she is still acting frantically!
Your younger one is glass surfing a lot also?
They are housed together or separately? Do they have a lay box to use also?
Which UVB light do you provide for them & how often are they receiving calcium?
They will leave more urates often when getting ready to lay, commonly.
It sounds like they are both eating well then?
