yea my beardie is about a year and half old and is clawing and "playing" with the wall for hours on end. Some people say this is there reflection some say its the temps. Well the glass now has paper over it, and the temps are as followed: 120 basking, 90 hot side, 70 cool side. is this ok? the scrathcing on glass it starting to make me go crazy.

I think a basking spot of 120 degrees is too high. I keep mine at 105-110 degrees. Try reducing your basking temp and see if that helps.

wow she just laid an egg. only one. Gussin its unfertile since shes by her self. lol. anyways should i put a box in there full of dirt i think she has more eggs and shes scrching franticly.

yes! If female beardies need to lay and have no place to do it they can get very stressed out and eggbound. A kitty litter pan full of damp sand, vermiculite or soil...or a combination, should work well.
