Hi
About a month ago someone offered to sell me a 18 month old female they didn't want anymore. I didn't want another beardie so my son took her. He's an adult & lives with me so I knew he would look after her. We are in the process of getting her a bigger viv & replacing her lighting ( UV is a t8 & is at least 15 months old). She showed no signs if being gravid wasnt digging but had been off her food for a couple of days & had been a bit grumpy put this down to her temps as the viv she came in is too small for her & with our heatwave the gradient wasn't good. Got in from work yesterday & she had laid 18 eggs 11 if which were plump & looked viable. & after checking with the previous owners daughter found out she was regularly let out in lounge unsupervised with a 12 month old male. Now I'm still a newbie I don't have the knowledge to raise babies so I did what I thought was the responsible thing & froze the eggs!! But now I feel so guilty & I know she's probably going to have several more clutches so will have to do it again! I think I'm doing the right thing so why do I feel so bad?
Sorry its a bit if a ramble
