MY DRAGON JUST LAID A CLUTCH OF 15 EGGS AND THEY LOOK THE SAME AS YOU EXPLAINED. THEY ARE ONLY ON THE 9th day but so far are looking good

one of my girls, Sydney laid three great batches and then a batch of jelly beans. I assumed this was because I only bread her once so it was the forth batch on one breeding but also because the other batches used up most of her calcium reserves and her weight had dropped as well. (I told her two batches of eggs was fine but she had other ideas!). Also some one gave me a female in poor condition who delivered jellybean eggs too. I would be more concerned with the mom's than wheather or not the eggs survive. How old are these girls and are they big? Poor calcuim absorbtion is a common cause of poor eggs.
