new glasses and dragon eggs

Woke up yesterday with the ear piece of my glasses seriously bent. I suspect the cat sat on my glasses while we were sleeping. I went for a nice long walk with H and the Kid to enjoy the weather. Stopped by the local eyeglass place to get my glasses fixed and ended up having to buy new frames. Thank goodness my lenses fit into an available ( Read more... )

Are these eggs fertilized?

No, our girl has not seen any action. *smiles* However, I was reading that once a female bearded dragon is fertilized she can lay several clutches from the same sex session. I carefully scooped the eggs out of the sand and threw them away. Turns out that even a non sexed dragon will lay eggs every spring. Sometimes multiple times. She laid about 16 the first time, and 9 this time, though a few eggs came out with her poop over several days prior to major egg laying each time. But that may have been because I was a bad dragon momma and didn't know she needed a digging place to comfortably lay her eggs.

Maybe you could find her a guy? I'm sure that you know at least a dozen responsible people who would be willing to take care of the babies...

I'm not at all interested in breeding my girl dragon. Bearded dragons have very specific needs and space requirements. A set up without the freecycle and reptile rescue help and we had would cost around $200. Needed for an adult bearded dragon

40 gallon breeder tank (smallest, some recommend 60 gallon)
Reptile carpet or other substrate
Heat lamp
UVB bulb ($50! not counting fixture)

Male and female adult beardies need to be housed separately.

However, I love love love my beardie and she makes a great pet. For more info look at www.beardeddragon.org
