gotta pic? if you’re absolutely sure it’s a boy then it has to be urates (dragon pee), if it’s not urates then it’s eggs, there about the only 2 white objects that size that can come out. break one apart, is it like chalk? if so then it’s urates. while we’re here, ’meat’ is a concerning and confusing word, what do you mean by that?

All female dragons are capable of laying eggs, even if they’ve never been with a male. They are infertile eggs, so you can just throw them away. If you would like help sexing your dragon, you can take photos and post them, and you will get several opinions whether it’s a male or female.

Mealworms are not a good choice, and I would try to eliminate them from your beardie’s diet. Also, I believe beardies can carry their eggs high, and if she doesn’t have a large number of eggs inside her, it’s not going to be terribly noticeable from the outside. Do like Sean said and break one of them open to see if it’s an egg or urates...if it’s eggs, get her in some potting soil or something so she can lay the rest of the eggs, an average clutch is around 20 eggs. If she doesn’t get the eggs out, they continue to grow, then she could be unable to pass them, and then there will be the possibility of egg rupturing, possibly death. Eggs are something you need to deal with immediately, don’t wait.
