Hello,
We adopted what we told was an adult male bearded dragon last summer. However, she recently unexpectedly laid one unfertilized egg on two separate days, then nothing else for a week. Yesterday, she laid over 20 eggs and seemed extremely exhausted for a few hours afterward. She became more active later in the day, but today she hasn't moved from her resting spot and just looks around...not taking in food that I can see. Is this normal?
Thank You for any information anyone can provide.

here is some info I got from someone whos experienced w/ eggs etc

Post some pics to show her body condition and some pics of her entire enclosure. Have you given her a soak, 10 minutes is good in lukewarm water to give her a chance to drink. If they get dehydrated from laying they sometimes won't eat.
