Interesting. I thought one of mine did this in the past but never actually saw it happen.

Were the last lot fertile?

Sounds like she needs to be left alone to lay the rest of the clutch.

Not sure they're in the incubator. This one was white with a red dot when she ate it.

You reckon remove the male from the cage?

Just wondering if the females occasionally eat bad/infertile eggs.

Wouldn't hurt to separate, not sure if that is the problem though. Make sure she's getting good food with lots of calcium. Has access to a suitable area for laying etc. Sorry not much help. I had all sorts of issues when I tried breeding beardies, so probably not the best person to give advice :D

Yeah, was wondering that, but these eggs looked really good from what I have read on the internet.

Can't really separate, not enough tanks,etc.

Been feeding her, mesclun salad, mealworms and some locusts today.

I removed everything from the cage, but the sand, do you think she'll lay in that?

Do you know if there is a way to induce her to lay them?

feed them well and they will just lay when ready, sometimes go off food for a day or two prior to laying.

sometimes putting them in a separate enclosure, or plastic bin with damp soil and or sand. want it damp enough so the lizard can construct a cave, where she should then lay the eggs, then cover it all up so you cant tell where they are. as soon as she has covered them and starts walking off or just basking, move her back to normal viv, dig up eggs and put in incubator.

can do this, best in seperate viv but doesn't have to be.

lay boxs etc
