My beardie laid eggs tonight and it scared me. She is approx 4 years old and this was her first clutch I have just learned this is the term for what is happening. As of now it has been like 25 eggs. This video was very informative and appreciated. TY
Good luck with your gal! Give her lots of TLC when she is finished laying 💜
My girl had the pink urate earlier this year, about 4 weeks ago, then shortly after went from super mellow chilling dragon (normal behavior) to the dragon that was swinging from the roof of her zen habitat AND opened the sliding door and escaped! I have video and all (I’m that creepy dragon mom who has video in the enclosure)! then out of nowhere… BAM! Lethargic. Getting out of her cave in the morning became a 3-4 hour affair. Eating, not happening. Off to the vet..$300 later… she’s follicular. But here’s the thing! The bloodwork showed calcium lower than it should be for a dragon about to lay a clutch! Eggs were not formed yet so maybe they’re going to be reabsorbed. I’m so glad you mentioned being gentle with their bellies. She is extra sensitive when I soak her and HATES having her belly touched now as opposed to her normal self when she does not care. So I’m making slurries with extra calcium (blending live dubias and supers is a whole experience I never ever thought I’d have) and lots of veggies. My dragon is quite the diva so eating from a bowl I’m holding is nothing new. She’s got a dig box in her enclosure but no interest in digging yet. She looks like a blowfish poor thing. Her middle is getting rounder and rounder by the day. This video is by far the most helpful I’ve found. At least I have an approximate timeline for the start to finish of this affair. Thank you!
Oh wow!! What a situation you’ve got there! I sure hope she does well for you!
Aaaaand this is why I love male reptiles!! 115 eggs, holy heck 😰 I'm glad she's okay!
Kalyn Woodbury me too :/ this will most likely shorten her lifespan a bit, which kills me, but she’s doing what she feels she needs to do, so I’ve gotta let her. We’ve contemplated spaying her but I’m still not sure I can justify putting her at risk like that. We shall see!
Ugh! I could've used this video last month! Would've saved me a vet bill! Lol
My less than a year old beardie went into burmation. I thought she was dying! Rushed into the vet to find out its normal burmation. I'm not ready for spring
Morgan Layne I’m so sorry!!! I had planned to film this in August, but she was acting like she’d lay another clutch (and she did), so I waited lol
I came across this years late, but I appreciate you sharing your experience and being so informative!
I can't even begin to imagine how worried you were. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about eggs in addition to everything else I worry about with ours. lol My guy is 7 months old and keeps acting like he wants to brumate. I too, have always heard they won't do that this young. He's been to the vet for xrays and bloodwork and they said everything is good, so I am trying not to worry so much and just let him do what he wants to do. I imagine he knows what he needs and nothing I can do to stop it. Good luck with your baby!!
Oh my gosh, I guess more people have had experience with young brumaters than I thought! Everyone else I'd spoken to said their beardies brumated later! I'm glad I'm not alone lol Hope your guy does well!!
girl my vet told me that I should look out for eggs come spring from nova because she is now old enough and large enough. ugh. my body is not ready.
Lawdddd I feel for you... But you can do it! It's the most anxiety I've ever felt, because that's my literal child, but you get used to it lol What scares me the most about beardies laying eggs is that you never know how many are in there. With the geckos, you can always expect just two at a time, for however many clutches, but beardies produce a different number each time. And Phoebe clearly likes to be an over-achiever!!!
Mine is currently doing this right now, which brought me to your video, believe I am totally freaking out a little bit, however I do know that mine is well supplemented, she has a healthy appetite, all the eggs are coming out easy wet and bright white, shes up 35 eggs so far. She is infertle as well, never mated but yes she is very hormonal as well. I am happy and relieved to hear that there is others out here. The weight loss and her fat stores is worrying me, so I totally understand what you meant about how rough yours looked. She is all tested, no parasites, well hydrated, and loves her basking spot, shes just a lean mean egg laying machine!
Same. My beardie lily my stopped moving but was eating 6 months of a upper respiratory infection... then went right into laying ... around her first birthday.... vets never helped I always knew the problem and they wouldn’t listen (the URI) went to 3 different vets 4 visits... finally the last one did a xray.. 🤦♀️
I’m curious if this means that she would be a very good breeder ? Or if it’s way to risky ? ANYWAY that sounds like such a crazy experience. I can only imagine how confused and scared you were.
I would imagine she would be, but I have ZERO interest in breeding bearded dragons lol Plus, having that many fertile eggs would probably put even more strain on her :/
My beardie JUST laid 29 infertile eggs....been waiting for her to finally lay them so she would stop digging like a psycho. Now she so skinny compared to before 🤣
I just got a female dragon yesterday and I been getting information about her so far everything is going good I have a male dragon also
Lol thinking my big boy was just having moment rearranging his cage scratching eating, being grumpy - this morning came down for 25 eggs - looking a lot like some between the seats apricots - thinking someone had broke into my house and had been feeding my dragon - I was disturbed- then realized my big boy Leo was my big girl Leona
Oh my gosh 😂
Wow! My one year old beard dragon started brumation in march until June, after that she start to eat lots of food. Lately she was crazy, scratching, digging, she stopped eating, I though she was sick. Yesterday when I arrived home, she had 8 eggs around her and she kept laying another 8 eggs until this morning... I had no idea that she was pregnant. I can't wait to go back home this afternoon, maybe she has more surprises for me.
BTW my baby is super small, it seems she is not growing up!
So I rescued a bearded dragon doin no research at all and going into this care giver state with no experience. So lately my bearded dragon has been acting weird it’s a female and at first she was kinda of lazy lethargic. Well today she has been what seems to be like she is looking for something what I have no clue like she is tryin to get out her cage. She has dug in one spot to move all the sand I put in the cage in that specific spot. I work and last couple days just really haven’t had the chance to spend with her I normally do so I was cleaning out her cage and she like charged towards me like I was disrupting something. Anyway I found I baby lizard on the carpet and was like how did this get her I was thinking it was from outside it was dead and I flushed the poor thing in the toilet. So today she acting what seems like to be frantic she is digging and looking like she is tryin to get out so some of her droppings I cleaned were white but they where not egg like just thought it was poop. Anyway I feel real bad bcuz she is acting like she is missing something and I feel like it could be them eggs. I never knew this could happen she hasn’t been around any male at least to my knowledge my question how did this happen how did she have a baby bearded dragon and where are the other I dug around the sand and couldn’t find anything. I feel so bad I feel like I did something wrong. I just don’t want her to get depressed. I need help I don’t know how this happen or what im doin I do research but didn’t look into this part of it. I feel so bad like I did something wrong. Omg I need to do way more research
My girl has been introduced to a male not sure they connected but she laid two eggs in her water bowl she is 4 years old and I rescued her from someone who surrendered her so after 1 month she has laid these two and she's just hanging out in her box I have the eggs in her box I removed with a spoon from the water there was also possibly a third egg that seemed to be squished thank you for your video
You are very helpful and personally going through it right now with my Liz.
I'm gonna adopt a rehomed 7 month old female in two days. I've looked up care guides, I spend a lot of time looking up their care. I can't believe I didn't know about infertile eggs or brumation until seeing this video just now.
Thank you for sharing your journey. Very helpful. I have a couple questions, maybe you can help. I’m a first time dragon owner. Our girl is almost a year old. She started digging behaviors so we made her a lay box. First couple times we put her in there, she wanted nothing to do with it. Then the third time she dug a hole and has been in there almost 24 hours. We have suspended a heat light above her. Here are my questions: Should we just leave her alone? And how long will she be in there? And should we keep the heat light or remove it?
Thank you so much for this. I had an experience with my beardie today that you just would not believe. Your video helped so much
Mines just has random moments just popping out eggs I said she lay about 52eggs so far in 3 months
I'd get her spayed as it's too much of a strain on her. It's a bit more risky than a cat or dog spay,but no more hormones or eggs.
Can you do this?
My bearded dragon just laid 20 eggs last night and is still laying eggs 😬
Oh goodness! Good luck! 💜
Oh lord i have a male and an unknown bc its too small but you can never be too informed
Oh good Lord.... My girl is 8 months old, looks about 16 months old, everyone says, "OMG she's huge". She's suddenly gone nutso with acting like she's trying to break out of her enclosure, eating anything that comes near her, and gaining a ton of weight. She's quite literally in the center of our living room and is a central part of our lives, yes, Taddi is our bbgirl. Now I'm freaking out.
Thank you for such a informal video! Could you explain more on the pink urate?
OMG, that is a lot of eggs, and it's scary seeing your baby go thru this. You are doing great, I now know I do NOT want a female dragon
I rather have a male dragon😂
Hi, my beardie laid about 15 two weeks ago, one a few days later and is still pushing to get reaming out. This normal? First timer and I’m afraid I might have ruined the first egg laying session by removing her …..
I’m sorry to hear that!! Sometimes they can have one or so leftover but usually don’t take that long to lay them. However, she could have developed more and would need a whole new laying session. I’d take her in for an X-ray and see what you’re working with! Because if she’s struggling, she could be egg-bound, which is never good!
I wonder if I can fix my dragon because she's 9 years old and I don't think this is healthy. She has never been around a male before. I live in CA and she goes outside every day there is smaller wild lizards but her two clutches were soft and empty cause I used a flashlight to look inside them.
Ty beautiful lady .Just the info I needed.
Thank you. She's so cute.
What great information. Learned some new things.
That's what I'm here for :)
Thanks so much that was so thorough!!!
Can you fix your dragon? My dragon had eggs the first time when she was 8 and now this year she's 9 and had one clutch of 22 and 4 weeks later she's starting to dig again.
Kind of sounds like she was like actually weeding like her body was waiting to have a mate
Hello as i'm watching this i have my bearded dragon on my lap he's only 2 months old and i'm pretty sure you live in America but i live in Australia so do Australian bearded dragons also hibernate in winter?
Lara Devic yes they will! Which I believe is technically summer for me lol
Thank you! This is very helpful so i don't freak out! 😂 By the way just to be clear not trying to be annoying but he's an Eastern Bearded Dragon so is that the same?
As far as I know, yes! But I'm not 100% sure!
Ok thank you!!! 😀
So my baby never actually went into brumation but my female laid 20 stuck together eggs and I'm going to have to check my dates and start keeping track but she recently locked with her boyfriend
My beardie is maybe 4yrs old (she is a rescue) and lays about 25-30 eggs every month every spring and summer usually until July or august. Do you you know what kind of nutrients the yolks have?
I have no idea lol
Female bearded dragons dont lay eggs in the wild without a male the only reason they lay eggs in captivity without a male is because they are being fed to much I just watched a video about it
It is uncommon for female bearded dragons to lay infertile clutches in the wild, though it's also pretty rare for them to be observed laying any clutches in the wild. So it could be possible. In captive bearded dragons, obesity can trigger hormonal changes, though it's definitely not the only reason. At times, Infertile clutches can be a symptom of an underlying health or hormonal issue. Sometimes, infertile clutches can happen. I've heard theories that the presence of a male in the female's vicinity can trigger egg production (though not viable) or even just from her detecting hormones from a male (say if you handled a male beardie, his pheromones could be transferred to her from being on your skin, clothing, etc.) It seems plausible after watching/hearing multiple instances of female beardies producing their first clutches at later ages only after their owners got a male or they had been around a new male. My point is that it does not always happen at the owner's fault by overfeeding, improper care, or husbandry.
My face watching this 😨😨😨
WHAT 115
Can I remove the eggs right away after my beardie laid the eggs
Yes!
Hey my dragon has been acting different and after watching your story on laying eggs i am hoping she isn't gonna lay eggs, any advice? She hasn't been around any males
Doesn’t matter if she hasn’t been around males, it’s like their period they happen either way, but the females can hold onto the sperm for a while like a year if I’m not mistaken
Hey, do you believe in parthenogenesis?? I am seriously on my third clutch with my baby girl, she is a year and half and she has had a total of 47 eggs so far!!! She is actually in her lay box right now!!! I've counted 8 so far but she's only on her first hour. But I'm going to incubate these eggs.. I said wth what an I losing?! Gonna try it. Her eggs never look infertile! Call me crazy but I'm doing it lol
How long it last
I hope you get more likes thank you for the information you shared
Most of the time, the breeding/laying season lasts around 2-4 months, but every dragon is different!
I thought they had to have white nails to be hypo...
Just going by what her breeder said and I’ve been saying it for the last 6 years. Her morph truly doesn’t matter THAT much to me... she’s a citrus tiger regardless of hypo.
So you’re telling me my baby Can lay 115 fertile eggs oh my God
No, I didn’t say that lol every dragon is different. Mine happens to lay a ton of eggs in a season, but not all dragons do. I explained the average numbers in the video.
@@BBsBeasties oh thank goodness 😅 I was so worried lol my male and female decided to mate when they were in the bath and now I’m having babies lol
Lately when i take her out she runs for the shade to sleep, more over weight than usual and just erratic behavior
This couldve been a 5-10 minute video easy. Next time give us the baby without all the labor please
Next time, just click away without being a selfish jerk 👍🏻 it’s really that simple
