Water Dragon laying eggs

22 15:00:33

Question
My female water dragon is about two years old.  I just recently took her into my home and she's adapting well.  I'm concerned that she's laying too many eggs.  After a week I got her she layed three eggs.  A little less than a month she's laying eggs again.  She's layed a totall of 10 eggs in two days.  I'm feeding her a variety of leafy greens and cricket and mealworms.  I use a calcium supplement.  Is there anything I can do to keep her from hurting herself.  I'm concerned this is not good for her health.

Answer
Hey Catrina,
as far as diet you can also give her earth worms (they love em)and king mealsy also once and a while if you are not apposed she will eat a pinky i do this only once a month with mine , humidity should be about 80% but thats tuff to achieve and maintain so if you are at 60-80% thats great, you can do this by putting potted plants in her tank/cage as well as moss,and mist 2-3 times aday. now as far as the eggs go it is normal, and she will be fine you can offer her a little extra food on those days that she lays, but she will not come to any harm laying those eggs,

well i hope this helps keep me posted
