Should I give my bearded dragon space to lay her eggs? Like should I encourage her to lay her eggs? My plan is to give her a hide with some substrate for her to dig and bury her eggs but is that the route I should take?

Is she gravid, or are you asking if you should do things to encourage her to produce infertile eggs?

If the former, then definitely provide her a safe and suitable place to lay. Serious health issues can arise when a dragon holds onto her eggs instead of laying them.

If the former, it's better they don't produce infertile eggs if you can manage your luck with it. And it does seem to all pretty much be luck based on whether or not a female dragon will produce infertile eggs.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
