My female beardie laid 21 eggs 8 days ago. She immediately plumped back up. She has a bigger belly on her now than she did before she laid. Today I found a single egg in her food bowl. Its kinda yellow, but not gross, but its badly collapsed. Is she expelling bad eggs to help out the other ones inside her? I know she can have eggs whenever she wants but is it possible that she is this pregnant only 8 days later? From what I see, this clutch is going to cosniderably larger than the last one. I already moved her into the laying tank with the vermiculite just in case. Any suggestions? Thank you

Hey I do not know much about the breeding process but after she laid her clutch you should check to make sure she doesn't have anymor eggs in there at that time. An egg being stuck in your beardie can be harmful to her. Everything else you are asking im sure someone else will be on here soon to help with though.

It's hard to say. It's not uncommon for beardies to drop an egg or two after they have closed the nest etc. Eight days is a long time and I've never had one drop an egg that much later but I wouldn't worry about it.
