 Lay box help

Hmm..I’d figure something out ASAP...because they can become egg-bound if they don’t lay. Why do you have to change their substrate? Can you put echo-earth in a box? I have a large plastic tupperware box that I just put sterile dirt about 6 inches deep. Its good to keep it damp so they can dig without the dirt falling back in. If they liked the eco-earth, I would stick to eat as best as you can. I don’t know what else to tell you. You can also post this in the regular forum, because this one is pretty dead most of the time. You’ll get more suggestions over there. Thats where I usually am. Just thought I would check out this one.

You need a male to make ’Babies’ but a female water dragon will lay eggs no matter what, but they will be ’INFERTILE’ meaning, eggs with no babies in them, like chicken eggs. So if you have a female you need a lay box over if they are over 18 inches for them to lay their "infertile" eggs in.
