Dragon Eggs

[Ben Rivera]

So Gina laid her first eggs today (2 total) and I've read somewhere that if the eggs were round and hard then they are fertile. If the eggs have a dimple or seem soft then they are infertile. Is there any truth to this? I've had Gina for 3 weeks so I wasn't sure if she was with a male. Lastly if they are fertile I don't have an incubator. Any one have any experience with egg laying?

I have no experience with eggs. I think you can candle (shine a light through) the egg and see if it's fertile. Has she been around a male?

I was going to ask the same Question Patsy; river-7

No she hasn't been with a male; actually this was quite an experience. The next morning the eggs soft and there was no sign of life within the eggs. She's been very antsy leading up to last night. We smelled a retched smell coming from the cage and when we investigated we noticed feces and two round eggs. After clean up she was pretty low key for the rest of the evening. I did some reading and apparently this process is very exhausting for them. Poor girl. Today she is as active and happy as ever with a hearty appetite.

Yes, and it also deplets her calcium so I would give her some. River-7

That's exactly what I did. Thank you for the information. I gave her crickets and collard greens sprinkled with Calcium.
