Grrrrr.... Get her a lay box and get them separated. Go out to walmart and get the biggest size rubbermaid they have and a bag of the cheap dirt without all the fertilizers. Get the dirt moist (not muddy) and pile it 10-15" deep on one side of the tub on a slant. Point a light at it to keep it warm and put her in. Unless you have all the stuff to deal with eggs and babies freeze the eggs and throw them away. Up her calcium supps and live food for a while to help her recover. Beardies retain sperm and can refertilize so be prepared to go through this again once a month for up to a year. Females should be at least 18 months and 300 grams before they should be bred.

Who’s pinxston???? If it’s a breeder they need slapped upside the head for giving out bad info. Rubbermaids are large plastic tubs, rubbermaid is the actual company here in the states, Sterilite is another company that makes them here but I don’t know about the UK. The ones I use for this are about 3 feet long x 2 feet wide x 2 feet deep. Hope that helps. If you need any other info feel free to ask.

No they should not be bred until what Sean said. A rubbermaid tub is a storage tub made of plastic. You really need to separate them. If you breed them too early, the female could become egg bound or even die.
