Hello,

How is Turbo doing? In most cases they are usually able to lay eggs successfully. Though
there are some cases where they need to be removed.
You can get a large plastic bin or tub & fill it with organic potting soil, that doesn't have any
chemicals or pesticides mixed with washed & sifted playsand or vermiculite, etc. Make it
around 10-12 inches deep enough to where she can make a burrow. You will need to keep it
wet so it will hold up in the case of digging a burrow but not sopping wet.
Definitely get the pictures of the x-rays if you can!

Turbo is doing much better.
After administering antibiotics:
1st day only made clicking noises, no vomiting.
2nd day onwards no more noises, no vomiting.
I believe today is the 4th day.

Thanks for the tip with the soil and bin. I got Turbo last August off a breeder that used her for breeding. I have 2 beardie girls, I had Jenny for 2-3 years now? Never seen any eggs. Got to get that bin asap. They are always digging...

Hello,

That's great Turbo is doing better right now. So she isn't vomiting now, thankfully?
Sometimes they don't lay eggs until later in life & some start laying eggs early. A lot of it has to
do with genetics.
Show pictures of the lay bin once you have it all set up.

These are the pictures of the ultrasound which came from the vet.
It's been about a week since she's been on anitbiotics now. During the week, she had only made those clicking or gaping sounds on one of the days (I believe on the 4th day ). And no vomiting at all.

Here is Turbo with the lay bin set up but I don't think she knows what it's for. She likes to dig inside the hide.

What do you think of my lay bin set up? I think she is digging now but making a mess in the terrarium.

She's getting more and more active. In fact, I'm thinking of stop giving her antibiotics, as 21 days is quite a long time.

Actually, she's not just being active. She's glass surfing. So I cleaned out the tank and hope she feels better after.
Temps are 31-41c, humidity 30%.

She still wants to get out today. I think the substrate is too little. I theorize that she wants to find a spot with more soil to lay her eggs, so I will try to find a bigger container for her to do so.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
