Question
QUESTION: My BD just pooped out 4 white capsule looking things, about the size of a kidney bean, I cut one open and it was a yellow ooze, what is this?

ANSWER:   Congratulations, your girl just started laying eggs.  Four are too few, she needs a proper place to lay the rest quickly and safely.  I suggest you go to www.blackninjakitty.com click on dragons and then click on Gravid beardie laybox.  This will instruct you on putting one together fast so she can finish the job.

QUESTION: Scaley is a male and has not been around another BD for 2.5 years....Could it be a parasite?

Answer
I really believe Scaley is a girl.  Has Scaley ever been to a vet?  I would suggest you check out the following article and take another look at Scaley.

Also females do not need a male to lay eggs, they only need to mate to fertilize them.
