Question about females and eggs?

[Monotov]

i know I've been posting on here a lot lately for a few questions... but after just recently discovering that my beardie is a girl, I have a few questions..

I have heard that females will lay unfertilized eggs, just like any female bird, fish, etc.. just as natural part of life,
but my question is how can you tell they are going to lay eggs? Also, how can I tell when she is about to lay them?

I don't want it to go unnoticed if she is about to lay eggs or if she is having trouble laying eggs because I have read that a lot of females die if they can't lay their eggs, Monotov will be a year old at the end of this month, so I am also unsure at what age they do lay eggs.

Any precautions or awareness I can take to make sure if/when she does lay eggs I can make it easier for her and take care of her?

Thanks

They will start to try and dig around the enclosure, acting restless. My female is nearing 2 years old soon, she hasn't produced eggs whatsoever, some females just won't until they are mated, however other will. Not all females will lay their eggs though, some will reabsorb them. Typically I hear they are around 1.5 years of age when they start to develop eggs, this can fluctuate from individual to individual.

Oh okay, great to hear, hopefully she just won't produce eggs, although she is such a beautiful dragon and I would love to breed her but I don't have the experience, money, or time.

Thanks for the help
