you have 2 options, incubate the eggs, or dont incubate the eggs. if you incubate best at 28 deg with as high humidity as possible. If you dont want to incubate the eggs just give them a wee shake and put them in the freezer for a few days. One piece of advice i shall give you though is beardies are expensive from hatchling and they dont go for very much cash so give some serious consideration about what you want to do. |

There are already far too many of these poor critters everywhere. If it was me I'd do the kind thing and freeze the eggs. Its sounds like a hard faced approach but maybe then the people who want a beardie will take one of the unwanted ones of which there are hundreds and stall the production of more babies into the trade which may just add to the number of unwanted beardies out there. |

Just seen on TCS a post about a beardie with a clutch of 19 eggs. I dont know if thats normal or not but a normal Royal shop price is £90 tops wqhich then means £4.73 a baby tops, You'll spend more than that incubating, temporary homing and feeding, baby lizards are bottomless pits with food.

first clutches tend to be smaller we had 10 we hatched last year and got rid very quickly. Granted we didnt have to worry about food for them we grow our own, but if the shop is willing to take them for a royal I think thats a pretty good deal.
If you incubate you ae best keeping these guys for 6 weeks before letting them go. |

Sorry to spoil the party lee but even if you seperate them now there is a good possibility she could still have another two cluthes as they retain sperm and if you do keep them together the male will not leave her alone which could be detramental to her long term health... |
