Suprise!! Gravid Beardie!!

[1dragonett]

HELP REQUIRED!!!!


Just discovered today that my ALL MALE cage of bearded dragons is not what it was SUPPOSED to be!!!

1 of the three has been keeping a naughty little secret from mummy!!
And now, I need some advice on how to prepare something for "HER' to lay her eggs in. I have searched, but couldn't find much on exactly what to supply. I'm not keeping the eggs, they're going straight back to the fellas that I got "Fatboy" from........... guess that's Fatgirl now, but how do I make her comfortable? One of the posts read about damp sand, and basking lights, etc.

How damp, what sort of sand, how do you tell how soon - especially as I have no idea When they did the naughty, etc.

Also, I have just reorganised all enclosures about 2-3 months ago, and got rid of all spare enclosures, so I'm limited with spare cages. (doh!!)

Also, how do I keep her from breeding in the future? I know about changing uv, heat etc, is that all? I don't want to split them up, as they all get aggressive (now I know why).

Thanks heaps for any help!!!!!

An icecream container with one side cutaway a bit for easy access, full of slightly moist sand, (so you can make a hole in it) will do the job. To keep her from breeding in the future, put her in her own cage!
Note: she may well drop a few more clutches even if you separate her now, since they can and do retain sperm.

Pump the food into her too, adding calcium.
