Never use a bedding which has fertilizer. You can use other bedding, but I use EcoEarth because it is meant for reptiles.
This is the time to make a separate enclosure with EcoEarth as the substrate (found at most pet stores), a heat light and UVB light for her until she lays her eggs. Once she hits the 20 day mark she will start digging like crazy in her enclosure. Once you place and egg inside gently pat the bedding around the egg so it stays in place bit don't make it too deep or when the dragon hatches it can suffocate. Wash your hands well, pack the bedding tightly and using your finger bend it slightly and push into the bedding to make a slight indent for each egg. The bedding for the egg tubs we use is a type of soil called Vermiculite (found at most hardware stores), it retains moisture. Your containers should have firm fitting lids and have several small air holes. Get your Egg tubs and bedding made up once your female hits 20 days into her pregnancy. Get the tubs in the incubator so the bedding is the proper temperature and moisture level from the moment the eggs go in. If you do, or are just curious then read on. Baby dragons are cute but they are a lot of work. If you do not have the space, time or funds to do all of these things then please DO NOT MATE YOUR DRAGONS. As well you should never house different clutches in the same enclosure as they are different sizes and the bigger dragons will attack and sometimes try to eat the younger ones. Baby dragons also will fight and you must have enclosures to separate these trouble makers into. The baby dragons all need proper lighting and lots of food and they grow fast. You also need an incubator with tubs and substrate in order for the eggs to survive. Know that your dragon could lay over 210 eggs, which means 1210 baby dragons to house and feed. Be Responsible! If you are planning to mate your dragons then be prepared ahead of time.
