hi everyone.
I just checked on my beardie and saw that she had laid 21 eggs. They are infertile and I thought she was just hormonal due to it being mating season, so I was pretty surprised to see all those eggs.
Should I expect to see any more of them? And what should I do in regards to caring for her now? She went off her food for about a week, so hopefully she’ll feel like eating tomorrow.
Hi Caitlyn, most dragons will lay more than 1 clutch in a season, generally 3-5 but some lay more than that. The clutches generally come about 3 weeks apart. Hopefully she'll start eating tomorrow, they are usually quite hungry after so feed her twice a day and use plenty of calcium powder on her food since egg laying uses a LOT of calcium + nutrients from the body. Be sure to give her a 10 minute warm soak so she has a chance to have a good drink. She should be fine . : ) Post pics of her if you can.

Not lethargic, she’s still moving around and is alert. She just looked more sleepy than anything. I’ll try her again with food today. She was also chasing the crickets she ate yesterday.
