I am aware large clutches are not good so when my unmated female Veild laid 100 in her first clutch I took advice and lowered the basking temp and reduced feeding to two medium to Large locusts every other day her second clutch produced 90 eggs so I thought ok numbers are going down. She has...

She has laid her eggs all 100 of them and is doing well, going to have to review her parameter's to get this number reduced for next time

Calcium no D3 3-5 medium locusts every other day, multi vit every other week. Arcadia T5 12% UBV. Day time humidity is between 40-50% night time 100% basking temp are 28-29c ambient temp is around 24-25c misting twice a day morning and night

Took her to vets as a precaution and she is full of eggs but vet says not egg bound vet gave her a shot of calcium as a bit of a booster and said if not layed by Monday then I need to take her in for an operation to remove them.

Thanks for the advice, yes this is as far as she has dug she had one hole the other side of the lay bin but then moved to the other side and started over again.
