55 eggs!!! wow!!

[JoshCrane1]

my huge 71/2 month female veiled finally layed her eggs yesterday, after a 1 day laying session she was done. i dug up 55 eggs under 12" of soil(not fertile). i cant believe how many she had in her; and how deep she dug.

her basking temps are kept between 85-90 degrees and her feeding schedule was changed to every other day from about 1 1/2 ago.

i dont want her to have this big of a clutch again, especially if their fertile!!

any suggestions on temps and feeding to keep this clutch number down?

thanks

edit: she ate everyday leading up to egglaying.

Josh, I'm really proud of her for popping all of those eggies out! I would say her temps could stand to be a bit lower for basking, what is the ambient? Also I would imagine it would be ok to go every other day with feedings even right before she lays? Any thoughts on this? Also how much is she consuming every other day?!?! She was sooooo fat man I could barley believe it Hopefully next time she will lay some fertiles for you

ambient is about 75-78, she eats about 6-8 large crickets every other day. man she was sooo fat, the eggs must have weighed about 2oz. i am going to lower the basking temps a little bit and keep the feedings to every other day for a bit. hopefully in the next month or two i can begin shooting my porn,lol.
