Nice to hear! That's a lot of eggs. You may want to try to slow her down a bit.

With slowing her down do u mean cutting her diet??

Keep her temps just a little lower and feed her less than you have been.

For my panther female, I feed her every 2-3 days, about 10 crickets per feeding. I also keep her basking temps in the mid 80's as opposed to high 80's for my male. This resulted in a clutch of 19 fertile eggs for me this month which is far less stressful than 56! Holy moly!

Once a female veiled has laid its eggs I feed it well for a couple of days and then cut the feeding back so she is not starved but definitely not overfed. The reason for lowering get basking temps a bit is with the hope of slowing her digestion. In my females this along with my supplementing and feeding get/gutloading the insects seems to stop or at least lower the number of eggs.

Update

So im really concerned, after she layed her eggs she was thirsty nd hungey, so i feed her nd sprayed her constantly tht day nd she was drinking constantly nd ate.. The following day she looked really weird nd fell to the bottom of her enclosure nd would not move.. I picked her up nd put her on a branch.. She seems really disorientated nd kind of gasp for air when this happends.. Im so scarred she might be headed down hill.. Please help.,

It doesn't sound good you need to get her to a vet ASAP.
