has she ever been with a male dragon? if not then the eggs are infertile and you can toss them out as they will not grow into anything and are not alive.

my suggestion for this run around would be to freeze the eggs and then toss them. Then once she starts showing again we can get everything setup for you. but honestly the eggs are probably already gone at this point.

so throwing them out is the best bet then? I also need advice on how to fatten Dragon up again. She is very thin now that she layed all those eggs. I started her on superworms yeasterday. How many should I be feeding her tho? And should I still give crickets? Do i let her eat as much as she wants or do i have to slowly build her back up like a skinny dog?

i dont hold my females back after laying. I pretty much let them eat as much as they want for about 2-3 weeks after laying. Also nice long warm soaks are good too. You will want to up the amount of calcium intake a bit for the first 2 weeks as well. Producing eggs takes a lot out of them. She will probably lay another clutch or two as well. So be ready for that. If you want to keep the eggs this go round (when she lays again) you need to purchase a havobator incubator and some vermiculite. LLLreptile.com has great prices on the havobator.

as early as 2 weeks as long as a few months between layings they can retain sperm for months
have you thought about or looked into ordering crickets online? you can get them in larger quantities and often much cheaper.

What Brian said. Hows the girl doing?
She's doing pretty good i think. She ate 19 crix and 10 superworms so far today. I tried the squash babyfood on her greens she didn't like that much. She did get a little bit of greens tho i mixed her worms in them. And she ate a matchstick carrot too. Am I feeding her too much?
As Brian pointed out, let her eat until her heart's content.
For the next round of eggs, Brian wrote an interesting article on breeding. I think it would help you a lot. Here is the link to the article:

25 super worms and 19 crix. She's got an appetite now. That's the most she's eaten since I got her. She needs a new name tho Dragon doesn't fit her lol. She such a sweetie. I'm absoulty in love! ;D 
. Another question. I'm currently using a 60 watt basking bulb but temps are only reaching 90 f how much higher should i go? Or is just a matter of buying a bunch of different wattage bulbs?

in my viv i use a heat mat and a 60 watt bulb and mine is 103 f dunno if you have a mat in there maby could hellp if you dont but im not shore if ur suppose to have a mat there i only got it so thay dident get cold at night i gess maby my tank could be smaller aswell not shore im new to haveing the dragons myself but maby my could be usefull 
A heat mat is not recommended. Beardies cannot detect heat on their bellies and can get burned by the mats. Try a heat emitter if you need to get your temps around 65F at night. Here's a link to what I am talking about:
