Laying eggs?

[Chezlee]

So I'm pretty sure my beardie is laying eggs. I woke up this morning to one egg in the enclosure. I wasn't even positive she was female until this morning when I saw the egg lol. I got a lot of mixed "shes female" "he's male" and I kept leaning towards female but still wasnt sure. This proves it though! lol

I read somewhere that they can lay eggs due to too much calcium, but also I just hear some females just lay eggs. I have had her for over 5 years now and never seen this happen. Her behavior lately with glass dancing does match the description of a gravid female, but I thought she was only doing that cause she saw her reflection.

Anyways what do I do? Do I need to make a lay box for her? She will lay more right? I hear they lay in clutches.

Yeah there could be more on the way. I'd build a dig box for her. A big plastic bin with damp play sand and topsoil mixed to a consistency that will hold a tunnel. Get a tunnel started for her and let her dig around in that for a while every day and see how she does.

A laybox can be as Cooper described or a smaller version that can fit in the tank. My girls used both kinds....here's the smaller version :

It's about 22" L by 11" W by 8" tall. Pack with damp sand or and/soil mix, just leaving enough room for her to get her body inside to start digging. The hole in the lid serves as the entrance.
