 Egg

I know it’s a little late to be asking but what do I do about unfertile eggs. I thought you had to do stuff for them or they get egg bound (which I know nothing about. sorry.) Can someone fill me in? I feel pretty clueless.

You just throw away the eggs. They can get egg bound if they cannot find a good place to lay eggs. You just have to get a box and fill it with 7-8 inches of clean soil (which you can buy at a home improvement store, or garden store; just make sure it has no extras such as manure) and mist it a bit to keep it moist but not wet or soaked. This makes it good to dig in. Make sure the dragon gets plenty of calcium and has a UVB light that isn’t more then 12" inches away from the dragon too, because she can become calcium deficient during egg laying since if she doesn’t have enough calcium, her body will take calcium from her to shell the eggs which can cause big problems with calcium deficiency.
