Okay, yesterday I rescued a pair of dragons from another family. Both gorgeous dragons but they told me the big one was a female (aged roughly 14-15months they say) and a male who is half the size and I guessed about 6month.
Anyway I had suspicions as they were shady with any information- and they were both in the same viv, which was no bigger than 2.5/3ft.
So I posted the bigger one and was advised he was likely a male, all fine they’re in separate vivs with the correct lighting (Uv and basking) etc now.
However I went for a bath and came back to find a single egg in the small ones viv confirming what I thought they had misinformed me about the sexes- I was concerned given she’s so small. But I popped her in the lay box anyway (I have an older dragon too so had it ready anyway) and she laid a second egg.
Both have a very obvious pink vein with lines running out so I highly suspect fertile eggs. I’ve put them in the incubator. However 10 hours later and there’s been no more?
I thought she was too small for laying eggs and she’s 100% too small for breeding. I’ve attached photos of both of the dragons, just for size reference.
is it possible she has more eggs- what should I be looking out for etc please?

She definitely looks like a juvenile to me, you can tell with how her head isnt pointed yet, thats kinda alarming if it was an egg, please keep the eggs in the same original position they were found in, it’s important they dont get turned (mark them with a little black dot) poor girl was probably harassed into making eggs by the male :( , feel her belly very gently, make shure she’s getting lots of bugs and lots of love, more eggs could be on the way, maybe since shes younger it’ll be a small clutch.

Okay, back from the specialists.
They’ve said the girl is around 6 months and is a rankins. She still has 1 possibly 2 eggs inside so given advice re:what to do.
hot baths, laybox in viv, lots of calcium coated wax worms. Anything else?
The boy they suspect is also actually only around 6 months- he’s missing a nail which they’ve said won’t harm him but my poor baby :(
They advised to feed him up lots too. Will keep updated

Thats probably why she has a rounder looking face then , weird..., but they’re saying the male is that old aswell? Idk if i buy that, hes huge!! How many grams is he? And length? He looks atleast 17inches, can you send more pics of them both? Please, a pic of theirs heads(side view) a pic of both their vents and pores, look up a video on YouTube called “lizard party gone wrong” by “animal1guy” you’ll get a good laugh and see male and female beardie behavior .....and what kind of behavior have you seen from your beardies? I assume the boy is the daddy of her eggs, idk if u read what i said about the eggs orientation, it’s important they’re not turned or angled differently.
