What do you do when a bearded dragon lays it eggs.?

okay ..dont freak out be calm in this situation cuz i know i did wen mine laid eggs,.so first check the color and texture of the eggs.if they are fertilized,meaning she had mated already,the eggs will be white and leathery.if not,they will be yellow and will sink in and get hard after a few days.if they are fertilized then u need 2

1)get them out of the cage!in sum cases the female or others will eat the eggs if they are left in the cage

2)make sure they stay warm

3)u will need 2 incubate them

make sure the sand around them stays semi moist before incubation

4)if they are infertile but she did mate then she may have another batch of fertile ones,also if they are fertile she will have about 3 MORE BATCHES OF 10-15 EGGS!so be prepared for a lot of digging...check her cage every night for more eggs....for more info go 2 this site: http://www.sundialreptile.com/care%20sheet--bearde...

go 2 the section with this info or just use this info..lol...

Breeding:

*Note: Bearded dragon females may cycle infertile eggs without breeding.

Breeding often requires a period of hibernation or brumation prior to the breeding season (see section on hibernation). When bearded dragons emerge from hibernation, breeding usually takes place quickly, so it is important to be prepared…

We suggest that your dragons (specifically females) be at least 18 months-old prior to breeding. Any small, sick, or young females should be separated from all males to prevent cycling, breeding, and potentially a loss of life. Dragons that are bred too young can wind up with serious health problems including death from egg binding. We cannot stress enough how important it is to have a healthy, mature female. Dragons bred before maturity will divert energy used for growing and maturity into making eggs, disrupting her growth process and altering her health. Female dragons bred too young and/or often will live shorter lives.

We also highly suggest steering clear of inbreeding, especially siblings.

Breeding behavior often appears violent. Head bobbing and black beards are among the breeding behaviors associated with males (*note: these behaviors are also typical of territorial disputes between males). Females often perform arm waving and slow head bobbing. The male usually bites the female around the neck to secure her and attempts to get the female to lift her tail for copulation.

Gravid females will get quite large and often appear lumpy. Feed gravid females often and supplement with calcium more frequently. The eggs can often be felt in the female's stomach when she is close to laying.

As soon as you see breeding behavior it is a good idea to have a lay area in place and an incubator prepared.

A good lay area is imperative to ensure that your bearded dragon does not egg bind. Lay areas may consist of a large area filled with one foot of a mixture of moist, somewhat packed sand and soil, peat moss, or bed-a-beast. You may set up this lay area inside the enclosure or prepare a separate lay enclosure to place the female in when you notice digging behavior. Females will tunnel into this area to deposit their eggs. Some dig for several days before they decide to lay. They like to be fully protected by their burrow (cat litter pans with an opening work well for this cave-like structure). Only her head will stick out while she deposit their eggs. After laying, the female will emerge and bury her eggs back up.

Females may lay clutches as often as 3 weeks apart and can retain sperm for several clutches.

Incubation:

Unearth the eggs GENTLY. Fertile eggs should be a nice white color and leathery in texture. If candled, fertile eggs will appear pink and a round embryo should be detectable. If the eggs appear yellow when candled or gelatinous, they are probably infertile (this is somewhat common for a first clutch of eggs).

Fertile eggs should be placed in a dish with moist vermiculite (and perlite if you wish) about one inch apart. This dish is then transferred to your pre-calibrated incubator. We suggest a "Hovabator" incubator. (You can find these at some pet stores, feed stores, and online). Make sure that your incubator is set at least 24 hours prior to use to avoid drastic fluctuations in temperature. We recommend incubating at around 84 degrees F. Do not let temperature range out of the 80s. Spray egg containers to maintain moisture level in the vermiculite. Eggs should hatch about 60 days after incubation.

Hatchling care (new!):

--Only house hatchlings of similar size together.

--Quarantine all new animals from different sources, especially with the new information on adenovirus in hatchlings.

--Make sure to supplement every day with calcium and vitamins. Small dragons can stress easily, especially when acclimating to a new environment. Vitamin B is a great stress combatant and helps the acclimation process. If your young dragon still seems stressed, administer vitamin b drops such as "stimulap", b

RE:

What do you do when a bearded dragon lays it eggs.?

We just bought bearded dragons. The female was pregnant. She laid ten eggs. What do I do?

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avFrb

clearly it isn't male. When pet stores tell you the gender of a reptile, it is usually a good guess, based on 1) the appearance of femoral pores, 2) using the "tail lift" method, which isn't always accurate, or 3) sometimes using specific temperatures while the babies were in the eggs to get females and males (the temperature can determine which one you get, and it is possible for the opposite gender to appear.) Now you know for a fact that you have a female, because males cannot possibly lay eggs. Most likely the eggs are infertile (if they are yellowish, then they are infertile). You can remove these and dispose of them.

Please visit http://www.beardeddragon.org/ for more information on this. Go to the discussion area and then go into breeding. Remember that bearded dragons need special care, especially babies. And, a female can lay more batches of eggs from just one encounter with a male, so if they are housed together you may want to keep them housed separately and only put them together if you want them to breed.

If you want to know more about bearded dragons you can find here a good guide: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=571

Bearded dragons are easy to house and very friendly animals. You need to be familiar with housing, feeding and maintenance so a good book can really help. This is a nice one I recommend http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=571

You should keep them it will be a lot of fun. You ll get to feed them 15 crickets each since there babies. Just take em out if we're she laid em. Put them in sand. Then incubate them. In 85 days they will hatch. The only problem in the cage you will put them in there gonna get bigger so you'll have to figure out that. Remember DO NOT SELL THE EGGS!!!!

have fun with them
