well if you already found eggs, and their burried, then shes not prego anymore yet, in about 4 -5 weeks from now, she will lay more eggs, so just make sure you have a big tub with at least 10 inches of moist vermiculite or sand, and some people use clean potting soil, but it has to be damp enough so it wont cave in on her when she is digging a tunnel to lay her eggs in. I find that vermiculite works the best cus its light and easy to dig up the eggs after. As for an incubator, find one thats called hova bator incubator, without the turbo fan cus air is bad for the eggs. She will eat alot when she is prego, and you can tell if she is prego or not about a week into pregnancy, you can gently press her belly on the left and right sides, and you will feel little lumps that sorta feels like peas. Just let her eat as much as she wants, and make sure you feed her lots of calcium, cus if she does not have enough calcium, she could get very week and die. for a good sourse of calcium, if buy those cuttle bones for birds, and use a knife and dust in on her food and veggies. once she gets close to laying, you can see her eggs poking out her sides like shes full of grapes. after shes done burrying them then you can take them out and put them in the incubator. make sure your incubator is turned on and make sure you have it in the 80 - 85 derees for the eggs to grow. you will be able to tell if she is ready to lay her eggs she she loses her appetite, she will constantly be climbing against the glass, and digging of course. I didnt really have any photos, but im sure if you go to the gallery for the bearded dragon breeding forum, there will be some pics that might help you there. Hope this answers all your questions, if you have any more, just post another reply and ill get back to you or someone else. :) good luck with your eggies.

Ok relax. First thing first. Has she been with a male at all? The amount she is eating isnt uncommon. if she isnt over weight you need to let her eat all she wants after laying. If she wasnt with a male they were just infertile eggs she cycled though. Let me know if shes been with a male first off then we can work from there. no sense in getting overwhelmed. -Jay

You can used packed damp sand for the laybox. make sure you put a light on one end and slope it upwards. it helps her to dig in. if you use sand at all in the laybox or in the cage, it has to be high quaility washed and perferably sterilized sand. large hardware super centers have this.. not the cheap stuff from walmart. You can not turn or rotate reptile eggs. It will kill them. Incubator needs to be holding a steady 84 degrees at least a few days before she lays, and it can take a week to get the temp holding right. I am bumping breeding 101 up to the top for you as well.
