They can lay unfertilized eggs after a year or two in age, but I am not sure how likely this happens. You would just freeze the "slugs" /bad eggs and then toss them. They won't have any babies in them and male dragons can't fertilize them after being laid. Dont panic about this because you have some time and chances are she won't lay eggs. I have an almost 4 year old dragon who never laid eggs.

My Sandy never laid until she was over 6 years old. Yet Dinah would lay infertile eggs yearly, one year 3 times, 83 eggs in one year. Some will, some don't ever.
