I have a female that laid a clutch of 24 unfertilized eggs last August. This was her first clutch and i had no idea she was even a she. I came home after work and found the eggs. Drakeo has gained a lot of weight in the last month and now is restless and trying to dig in her enclosure. I put a box with play sand in there for her but she just digs it all out and is trying to get out of her enclosure.
When I let her out to roam around she is full of energy. How long are the beardies like this typically before they lay? I am trying to make this experience better for her. I will include pics of her dig box and of her. Any advice is appreciated!
She wasn’t being very cooperative with the pics.

For them to feel comfortable with a nesting site, they need to be able to burrow into it. Loose dry sand doesn't give them that, you'll need to moisten the sand (like sand castle consistency) so that she can actually dig and create a cave.
