Only One Egg?

Yesterday, I came home and saw Ardie had laid a single egg outside his hide with a bit of poop on it. The only other thread I could find about a beardie laying a single egg involves a clearly gravid one. But not only is his belly still pretty flat, but I don't feel any other eggs. Granted, the first time he laid eggs he also didn't look gravid, but I could clearly palpate the eggs before he laid them. And I think I did feel something round days ago before he popped that egg, but nothing else. He is, however, tearing up his enclosure and headbobbing a lot, behaviors he did the last time he was gravid.

I guess my question is if it's possible for beardies to sometimes just lay a single egg. He's 2 years old and as mentioned, he laid his first clutch last month. Could it be normal at this age?

Still hyper and digging around today. Still not feeling any eggs in the belly.

Seriously, has anyone had the experience of a beardie laying just one egg and no other?

Hello,

Yes, sometimes, they do lay just one egg, but most of the time there are more to follow.
The infertile eggs are harder to feel or see. If she is still digging or restless then chances
are she will most likely lay more.
Be sure she is getting adequate calcium intake to help out her system.

Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
Please help. My beardie is my baby and I am worried she may be egg bound but I can't tell. She is over 2 yrs old and has never laid an egg. She has been swollen for two days and can't tell if she may be impacted or egg bound. Please help.
I'm still looking to adopt. I live near Homerville Georgia.
