So my 22 month old female recently became gravid with infertile eggs i kno they are infertile because shes never been mated this is her first clutch ever and i can feel little marble like balls in her stomach she barely eats and she poops more than normal and small poops so i went and got top soil and a tote and made a lay tote but she hated it and never dug just tried to climb out so after doing some more research i went and got some play sand and moxed with water and a little bit of top soil and made one end of her tank a lay dig area. Please tell me what you think and if i need to do something different because i love my girl and i wanna make sure i do my part in giving her what she needs i cannot lose her. Heres some pictures of both lay boxes. Thanks alot.

She may use either one of those, you never know....she'll be restless right up until laying time and may try to climb out of the tote. Try not to worry, laying eggs is normal for beardies and she's a big, healthy girl.

Ok that makes me feel a bit better how long do they usually take because she has been restless for almost 2 weeks now, not sure how long the eggs take to be ready is it normal what we are going through the 2 weeks is what im talking about i feel like she would lose weight not eating like she usually does but she hasnt at all.

She's probably close to laying. They usually don't lose weight until after they lay the eggs, then they get a big appetite again afterwards. She may lay anywhere from 16-25 [ or more ] It may be a bit more or a bit less.
