Unmated Beardie laying eggs

[ChewyMonster]

So my Beardie has been acting strange for the past few days and has been scratching a lot at the enclosure walls. I gave it a complete clean and substrate change today and was shocked this afternoon to find "him" laying eggs :shock:.

Do I need to do anything? I know the eggs will be infertile and I'll have to bin them.

Is she likely to do this again? If so how often? She's about 18 months old, I was told it was a male when I got him from the RSPCA, but never thought to look. I've had her for over a year.

Guess I'll need to think of a new name for Leon now, maybe Leonie!

Thanks

beardies can lay eggs without a male's presence,they are called slugs.I had a female for over 5 years and she did it once,the eggs are usually yellow and sticky.

Unless the female was previously mated in which case some may be fertile as they can store sperm for a fair while
