Hatchling Dragon

I have a rescue dragon that has multiple disabilities. The vet told me a little over a month ago that even though she had never been around male that she was gravid, however the x-rays were inconclusive. She was on calcium liquids to help harden the "eggs". The last few days she goes nuts trying to get out of her tank, won't eat and when she is out she looks for somewhere to hide. Today she was bobbing her head (never does that) and now she is out and scratching at the carpet.

So, I got her bin out, put the clean play sand in, it is wet so not to collapse and she is digging...
1. Do I just leave her in there?
2. Do I put her lamp and ceramic bulb on it?
3. How long do I let her try and what if she doesn't lay anything right away....

I'm new to this female thing... I've only had a very sweet and chill male until her. we weren't even aware she was female when we rescued her.

I know how you feel. Went through the same with my girl. Keep trying with the digging box and if you can get one in her viv as well if you have space. As our little one was still a juvenile she was never able to form the eggs and the only option was to spay her. The best lay box i found was a decent sized RUB which you can get in most craft stores that have a lid, spray the outside or make sure its covered and dark inside and just cut out a hole so your beardie can climb in and out. Use some damp play sand mixed with a little vermiculite and give it some time. Good luck!
