So a few weeks ago my beardie layed around 17 eggs. I didn't know what they were at first so I googled and researched the topic. I basically found out it was normal and they were obviously not fertile so I removed them and moved on. About a week ago she laid around 14 more and I figured she just hadn't got em all out. Now this morning she laid about 15 more but this time with her poop. Now I am starting to get concerned. She is healthy and all lighting, temp and vitamin requirements are up to spec. Why does she keep laying eggs and with poop? I read they lay anywhere from 15-35 but she has surpassed that. Should I be worried?
Do you have a laybox for her ? That's very important. And they can lay far more eggs than that. They can lay as few as 10-12 and more than 40 in one clutch. And that can happen up to 8 times per season. One of my girls laid over 270 in one season.
Sry for the late reply, I hadn't gotten any emails so I didn't think anyone replied. Anyway, she eats her salads which consist of squash, sweet peppers, kale, collards and carrots. She also eats crickets and super worms with the occasional pinkie. She is at about 50/50 on the greens and insects and worms. I thought it was supposed to be 80/20 in adulthood but she seems to prefer insects sometimes and sometimes prefers her salads.

No I do not have a lay box for her. How would you reccomend I set that up and how big should it be? Where should it be located? Warm side or cool side? She is in a 40 breeder.
