Re: Found the weirdest thing in Links tub, please look
Females of most egg laying animals will often lay eggs even though they have not been mated (or indeed been any where near a male). In mammal terms the equilivant would be a false pregnancy so this sort of thing is fairly common in the animal world and is most likely caused by hormonal changes at certain times of the year. (breeding season)

thanks john, do you know roughly what age they'll be when this starts? or is it just different for them all depending on their own body and things?

Obviously they have to be of breeding age/size, we have had eggs from an adult bearded dragon that had never been near a male. Birds are probably the best example of animals that will lay infertile eggs but it seems that quite a few species of reptiles do it too.
