Please help..Laying eggs for the 4th time

[belladragon1]

My beardie is almost 5 and in May she laid about 23 non fertile eggs, then 2 weeks later 23 more. We were hoping that was it..but about 2 weeks ago she laid about 13. Now she is acting like she is going to lay more. We have a lay box for her and it seems to work well, but does anyone know if this is affecting her health? She doesn't eat much a couple days before, then she pigs out after and we make sure she is getting plenty of calcium afterwards. Im just worried for her sake, is this normal and how long can this go?

As long as her nutritional needs are met, she should be fine. Give her as much food as she wants, and calcium every other day. Some breeders say calcium every day....that way is fine,too but I've never had a problem dusting every other day, never had any eggbinding in my girls. But all in all, give her lots of good food, plenty of greens + insects,hydration + plenty of calcium. Many dragons lay an average 5-6 clutches in a year, some lay more. Although egg binding happens occassionally, most dragons will never have that problem. The fact that your girl is eating well is a good sign, so no need to be overly concerned.

Thank you..I feel a little better knowing that she is ok. The girl at the reptile store told me that more than 2 cluches is not very common so I started to get worried when she laid 3 and 4 times. She has been eating lots of crickets dusted with calcium and I condition her water with calcium as well. She loves her veggies and some fruits. Just one more question..Will she lay eggs every year now or will it stop? I know all beardies are different. Thank you again for your comment and making me feel better about her laying eggs.
