I wasnt expecting my two beardies to end up having eggs.. My female is about 9 years old and I was informed that she shouldnt have any more clutches.. Well, this morning I woke up to a huge pile of sand in an area of my tank and I can see three eggs through the glass so now I have no idea what to do! I seen her digging a bit and was going to pick up some nesting material and a small tank to put inside the one that they are in, just incase she was trying to lay eggs, well now its too late! So my question is, do I leave them there and spray the sand down? If so, then how often? I don't have access to an incubator until this weekend and by then, I think it's to late, also, Im not able to move the eggs now am I?

You really need to have an incubator or they will not live. They have to be heated at about 84 degrees I believe.
Some people have used a fish tank and fish heater, I really do not know exactly how to do it I never have. I'm sure you could do a search. But hey ya might not have a fish heater either. I'd rather save that money and get the incubator myself.
Maybe you could borrow the money until the weekend when you have it.
Otherwise you might as well freeze them and dump them. Thats what people do when they do not want to hatch them. :0(
I would still try and borrow the money. You can get one for about 40.00
Good luck, in whatever you have to do! Should invest in one anyway, incase she lays again real soon.
