 Please help! My mistake, I feel so bad!

So about three weeks ago a friends room mate unloaded a full grown female bearded dragon on me. When I say unloaded I men she brought her to my work and said take her, I sold her tank and she has no where to live. And I did, but I had no where to put her (no tanks laying around that were big enough) so she spent three days with my adult male, until i could buy one. I never saw then mate, I never saw her digging, she never got fat. She just had 23 eggs in her moist pellets. I guess it was the only moist area she could find. I feel so bad, but I watched her and watched her and I really didn’t think she was gravid. I didn’t have a chance to look at the dragons before I left the house this morning but i did look at her last night so they cant have been in there for more then 12 or so hours. However when i took them out they were still kinda soft so maybe she really just did it. The temp in the room they are in is about 75, and the lights had gone off for the night so they got down to that. I fixed up to rubbermade bowls with vermiculite that was wet enough to stay in a ball when squeezed and put them in the incubator that is set at about 85 (I breed leopard geckos). Is there anything else I should do for the eggs? or the female? Thank you all so much for any help. I really feel so bad I didn’t give her a lay box, but I really didn’t think she was pregnant.

Be sure that she gets plenty of calcium right now and I use superworms (in moderation) to help put some of the lost weight back on. Get a lay box ready because you will most likely have more clutches coming.
