Roman is correct that iguanas will lay eggs whether fertile or not, however, they are gravid (pregnant) for a good amount of time so you don't have to rush to make her a laying place LOL

If you have a herp vet, I would urge you to take her in for a check up. If she is not in tiptop condition, egg laying could become a serious even life threatening thing for her. Egg binding can occur. Prolapse can occur. The things that can go wrong are scary. If she's in good health, then I'd follow whatever the vet suggests regarding her diet needs now, etc.

You might want to look at Melissa Kaplan's website regarding breeding of iguanas. It is very informative. I'll leave a link of it for you. You might want to also go ahead and go to the link on that page regarding egg binding.
