Hres what I dug up..

Less than 3 weeks after introduction of my 9.5 month old female and my 1.5 year old male. There were a total of 20, but superworms damaged 6 and one was a slug. I use almost the same conditions my monitors are kept in for my beardies, guess what they are lizards, so it works with other species.

Congrats.

Keep a very close eye on your female as that is very young for a female dragon to breed. Most people say to wait until the female is at least a year, if not 13 months. Female dragons use a lot of calcium in egg formation and it's very stressful on the body. Give her lots supplementation and high quality foods such as gutloaded crickets, silkworms, butterworms and veggies. Also be aware that she may have many more clutches without another breeding from retained sperm. This would be a very bad thing, but at this point there is nothing you can do to stop it. If it does happen, it could be in as little as 2 or 3 weeks....and she may need vet assistance.

Good luck with the eggs. Good temps to incubate at are 82-84.

Actually... I've heard that 18 months is the best age. Any breeding before that age will reduce the overall lifespan of the female.
