bearded dragon laying eggs. help

[vinnie-gecko]

so i found 17 eggs in my bearded dragons viv when i got in from work (now i now he is actually a she). what i need to know is do i need a dig-box for her. the biggest container i can put her in is my empty 10 gallon fish tank. i can still feel some inside of her but im not sure how many.

Here's what I did for 5 seasons of beardie dud laying: I got one of those big plastic planters that looks like terra cotta and filled it with potting soil. It stays on the porch unless the beardie was about to lay (she would get pretty agitated and try to dig up the cage or the floor). I'd bring it in the house, put her in and leave her alone for awhile. She'd lay all the eggs, cover them up and I'd dig them up and discard them.

do i need any heat source in the tub or will she be fine without one. i put her in my 10 gallon tank last night and she laid another egg. im not sure if she has anymore in her or not, but i havent seen her trying to lay anymore today

She should be fine without a heat source. Ideally, she can end up with a place to dig to her satisfaction and should lay all the eggs at once. Be prepared for another clutch in about a month. At her peak, my beardie produced 125 eggs in 5 clutches one summer.
