Once females are mature, they often go into breeding cycles whether or not a male is there. Your BD isn't laying infertile eggs because she's sick, but because she hasn't been with a male to fertilize the eggs. Make sure that she has a good UVB bulb on her and you are supplimenting with calcium (dusting crickets, ect) so that her calcium levels don't become depleated from laying the eggs.

yeah man. I am not gonna get into detail, but it's like a girls menstral period. The eggs leave the body infertal because sperm from the male never fertalized the eggs.
