Bearded Dragon Egg

My spouse works with the local animal control and they found a female Bearded Dragon in July, who we have adopted. It has been a couple months now and she is very fat. We went to the local reptile specialty store and they inform us she is most likely producing eggs. We assume infertile but have been told they can store sperm for up for a year so she might be fertile, we just do not know.
We have bought a hut that is now in the "hot" side of the tank. She did go into the hut a few times and has dug out all of the sand over the last couple weeks. Every few days she does go back into the hut to dig out more of the sand then she just hangs out in the hut for a bit and eventually leaves. Right now there is just a thin layer of sand on the floor of the hut and she hangs out on top of the hut bathing in the heat lamps. No eggs yet...
Is she doing anything out of ordinary? In the last few days she has started to become extra lazy. She still eats her normal amount of salad, calcium dusted crickets and the occasional hornworm. I have her run around outside her tank for at least 30 mins a day for exercise plus she just hangs out us on our lap for an hr or two through out the day.
Will she be able to lay the eggs in her hut? Or do i HAVE to get a lay box?
I am hoping to avoid having to go to a lay box if she is just infertile. That way when ever she goes through her cycle periodically (which i have been told can happen up to 3 times a year), she can stay comfortable and lay her eggs "at home" in her tank.
