Certain weight to lay eggs?

[jacqui778]

I was wondering, do beardies have to be a certain weight before they can lay eggs?

There really is no recommended weight but most good breeders use females who are at least 2 years old and 18+ inches.

I actually meant infertiles. But I did get an answer after I posted this. I have a very, very underweight 3 year old female and I was concerned about whether or not she would lay infertile eggs, since she's healthier now than she's ever been. I know for a fact that she wouldn't make it through. Mommy Paranoia, you know... :roll:

Yes an underweight or undersized dragon are much more likely to have complications, atleast from what Ive seen.
