Bearded dragon only laid 2 eggs

[Er071241]

Hello I was wondering for advice or reassurance my bearded dragon is 5 years old and if laying her first eggs I found one in her tank so I put in a nesting box and she’s been digging none stop but I hadn’t noticed her getting any smaller and still digging over the past 2 days she’s only laid 2 eggs and I was reading that is should usually take a full day for her to lay all the eggs

Just let her lay the eggs she will --- are they fertile or infertile?

They are infertile eggs

They are infertile eggs

Ok so when shes done laying give her time please add extra calcium to her diet --- and dusted on the insects please

Whenever she’s taken a break from digging I make sure to put fresh food into her food bowl give her some worms and dust everything in calcium. Is it normal to take multiple days to lay her eggs?

Does the size of her nesting box matter?

You dont want it so small she cant actually get in it to lay eggs - here is some info on the laybox
LAYBOX

potting soil that doesn't have any type of chemicals or fertilizers in it, mixed with sand, etc. Be sure it is at least 10-12 inches deep & that the mix is damp enough to where it will hold up to her making a burrow but not sopping wet to
have standing water.

The laying box I have her in is around 2 feet long but only a couple inches deep and she laid another egg not not in the box on the paper towel in her tank

What are you using for a substrate for the lay box -- please use what I posted and make it deep for her as posted - and yes it can take multiple days for her to lay those eggs
