They may not be fertile eggs, but you should take her to the vet ASAP! Most captive Iguanas die trying to lay their eggs they get what is called egg bond, where they can't lay an egg. I just got my Iguana spayed because of this and I had 2 rescue Iguanas in the past die from this. It is a very painful death and they were spitting up blood from it please take her to get checked up to make sure everything is alright.

Best bet is to puchase one of the many good care and maintenance books for iguanas, many of them have sections on breeding and rearing young. But yes, if she hasn't had access to a male, she could have a clutch of infertile eggs, and getting egg-bound is a big issue, please take her to a good vet to make sure everything's going well.
