A bearded dragon will eat a tarantula in a hot second....I wouldnt have one anywhere near a tarantula. Not even in eyesight if its loose.

Well her dragon is really losing weight FAST as it lays like 20 eggs every 6 weeks for god knows what reason. It would definitely eat it up as soon as it got the chance. Oof.
Female beardies will lay eggs like that even if never exposed to a male.
Definitely need to up her protein and calcium intake. Throw lots of collard greens at her as well as collard greens are high in calcium.
She should have pellets offered at all times, a nice salad of greens at least once a day and lots and lots of protein at least once a day.
I would give my female about 8 adult Dubia roaches daily when she was actively laying. I would also buy these red protein cubes (I’m blanking on the name) when I was short dubia that I’d give her a huge bowl of... they’re basically bearded dragon junk food but the protein content is a life saver in desperate egg laying situations.

When i was a teenager we used to feed my beardy anything he could fit in his mouth, my friends got a kick out of it and i was a dumb kid. We gave my boy Oscar all kinds of stuff, mantis, spiders, mice and frogs, all sorts of stuff and almost a tarantula. We went looking for one and found one, don't remember what it was but it was like $50 so lucky for the T i wasn't paying that for a feeder. I grew up since then so don't worry about my Ts getting fed to anything nowa days
I still have Oscar too but he's a old man on a dubia and salad diet these days but he still goes nuts when he sees my feeders for my snakes, if he gets that hyped over a pinky mouse, couldn't imagine what he'd think about a giant spider.
