she at lest 2yrs old,so is he, an not a single egg. WHY, OH ,WHY won't my beardie lay? I have thought several times in the 9 months since I've had the pair that she was gravid but she never laid any eggs. I new to beardies, although I have done my research when first bought the pair. She doesn't care for people, maybe stress caused her not to lay? I give Dragon Dust by T-Rex, says has nutritional value needed for breeding females(growth formula). But maybe I need to give something else too?I feed veggies and crickets and mealworms. I provide light and heat(does not enough heat stop her from laying?) I bought them to breed. Any advce if I can't get them to breed on how much to ask for them if sell them as a pair?(in America?) I starting to think maybe I'm not the right one to have these guys. I paid $250 at an auction, To much or what?

Could be several things.
1.Make sure they are male and female first!
2. They should not be housed together, as this causes stress.
3. Are all husbandry conditions being met? Correct temps and UVB critical, as is a varied diet.
4. Laying box set up appropriately?
5. Right time of year to breed? They won't if they believe it is winter time and are brumating.
6. Size and age--may not be physically ready to breed?
7. Health--have they been vet checked and especially checked/dewormed for parasites by an experienced reptile vet?
