I have a 75 gallon tank with three adult bearded dragons. Two are 11 years old (male and female), and the other is around 6 or 7. The 6/7 year old recently started acting very agitated and restless (which i know is a sign that they are gravid). However, I know that my male has not shown any interest in her. She has laid eggs in the past but they were not viable. I suppose I haven't heard of dragons just laying unfertilized eggs. Though I suppose there is the possibility that they are fertilized.
Ironically, my boyfriend has had the same issue with his two dragons. He has a pair but they are only months old. The female laid a total of 16 eggs over a weekend that he was gone.

Is this normal behavior if they have gone through a cooling cycle? I don't normally cool out my dragons but I've moved in the last year and I know that the temperatures are cooler here than they were at my previous location.

Any advice?
