Egg laying
Bearded dragons dig a hole for their nest. They will not lay their eggs until a they have created a suitable burrow. An appropriate substrate for
digging must be provided or the female may end up with egg binding. The area with substrate for egg laying must be at least 8 inches deep. A mixture
of potting soil and sand works well. It must be loose enough for the female dragon to dig, but not so loose that it caves in while she digs. If you
make a pre-made hole in the substrate, the bearded dragon will often use it to complete her burrow. Depending on age, condition, and previous breeding
the lizard will lay a clutch of between 15 and 50 eggs.
Egg storage
You should carefully uncover the bearded dragon eggs and place them in a plastic container. Do not rotate or change the position of the eggs while
moving them. The bottom of the container should contain enough vermiculite to cover each egg 2/3 deep. The vermiculite should be mixed with water at a
rate of 4 parts vermiculite to 1 part water. The container will also need a lid with air holes.
Incubation
The best method for incubating bearded dragon eggs is to use a commercial incubator. Styrofoam incubators are inexpensive and work fairly well. The
temperature of the incubator should be between 83* and 86*. You should keep the incubator in a room that is cooler than the temperature of the
incubator. They are designed to raise and maintain one temperature. If the room is warmer than the incubator, it will raise the temperature above the
thermostat setting in the incubator and potentially kill the eggs. To help maintain humidity levels, you can place a dish of water within the egg
container and refill it as necessary. The eggs will hatch in about 60 to 70 days.

When I googled bearded dragon all I got were pictures of her...
Call the cousin?
I have, hes 7 and very excited.
Been down the pet shop and got some advice from the reptile guy. He seem to think the lizard won't have finished laying yet and we should leave
it a couple of days before doing the incubator thing
