My beardies won't lay her eggs?

[JoeyyNY]

So My Tazzy mated with my Gizmo on the 10th of sept.

She has put on some weight and I feel the eggs in her, She has stopped eating for about a week already and she's been restlesss scratching & trying to escape her enclosure (150gal) now I had been putting her in her laybox for 2 days for few hours a day or until I hear her trying to escape from the laybox but she does not want to lay her eggs!! She was digging when I first put her in the laybox but now she had stopped and just wants out when I put her in the laybox. Any advice on what I should do??

never done any breeding - you might try letting her to run around for a bit, then put her back in. i think i remember reading that it may take several weeks. maybe she's just not ready ?

 

[JoeyyNY]

Do you have a source I can read? This is my first time breeding so really not sure what to do at laying process lol

 

[Canicke]

sorry - no experience. i've got a female but she is retired from breeding. hopefully others with more experience will reply

I read that it can take 4-6 weeks from mating for the eggs to form and for her to lay them....maybe she's just not ready to lay them yet.

Hopefully they didn't get stuck or worst

Yeah, I just read that.. I ended up getting her insurance going to take her for a check up just to make sure everything is fine.

Hey just wanted to update she laid 29 eggs today

 

[PatsyB]

That's awesome!

Can you do me a favor? We have a member whose female is doing a lot of scratching in her tank. Can you peak at this thread and offer some advise? I think she's going to lay eggs but I don't know much about it. Can you just see if this is how your girl acted and offer advise.
