Hi everyone! So my female dragon laid 18 beauitful eggs and they all collapsed with a two hour time period. I bred her with my male so I expected a clutch. She laid on top of plain sand in her egg laying bin, rather than the nice moist egg laying soil, organic dirt combo. I waited until she was done and until the eggs darken up to a soil white (about an hour until they were no longer pinkish) and then moved them into the egg bins with moist sand dirt combo that i allowed to get slightly warm. I placed the egg bins under heat lamps and a heat pad to keep the egg bins around 80 degrees until I could get the incubator ready. I wasn't expecting her to lay for another few weeks so the incubator wasn't ready! Before finding out she was expecting, I housed them together for a while and she was huge forever...yes, I know this is a no, no and they probably mated without me knowing more than I want to know. So, while housed together I caught them in the act so I seperated them. Two weeks later she layed. So she was obviously preggers before. So why would 18 eggs collapse? I have done my research and know that first time clutches are known to collapse but why 18? Any help or links to websites are greatly appreciated!
