    Thinking about getting a ball

    I am looking at getting a bp. If I get a female would she lay egg even if she was not to breed. Can she have problems with being egg bound?

    While some people have reported Parthenogenesis it is VERY VERY unlikely.

    No not Parthenogenesis. But unfertile eggs. Like bearded dragon they lay egg with out male but they are not fertility.

    An unbred female COULD (not would) lay infertile eggs, but it is rare. Getting eggbound is also unlikely. These are pretty low on the list of problems I worry about.
