Help! My dragon laid eggs!!

[raidiowires]

Many months ago my bearded dragon was housed with what I thought was another female, but I found out the hard way that he was a boy. I got rid of him, gave him to a breeder, and that was several months ago. Just today, hours ago even, my dragon gave birth to a brood of eggs. They didn't look fully formed and some were caved in, so I assume that they were infertile.
Were they?? Can fertile eggs cave in and die in a matter of hours?? And most of all, I'm worried about her health. I hear that each time they give birth to fertile or infertile eggs it lowers their lifespan. Is that true?

Hi there...the eggs are probably infertile. Some may be fertile within the batch while others aren't. Can you post a pic ? If you are planning on tossing them, some people say to put them in the freezer for a day to kill them JUST in case they might hatch somewhere out in a garbage dump, this is so unlikely, but to be on the safe side, they can be thrown in a double plastic bag, pour a half cup water over them and toss. They will kill them. If you think any are good and want to incubate , there is a sticky at the top of the breeding forum how to care for eggs and also how to care for a female's health. It's not true that egg laying reduces life span unless it's excessive and/or the female is already underweight or unhealthy. Just give her plenty of food dusted in calcium[ as much food as she wants ! ] water and rest . She should be fine.
