Gravid Female

[Pharaoh2015]

Hey guys. My female I believe is Gravid. She has been digging holes in some of her pots at the top of her cage.

Is there anyway to get her to move down to her laying bin?

She 8-9 months. First time with eggs. I can see them bulging in her stomach.

My set up

Well she laid her first clutch
My girl quite skinny but she laid 48 eggs

That's a big clutch. You may want to try to slow her down.
Was she hungry and thirsty after laying them?

I would,dandelion feed and water and supplement her well for a couple of days and then cut back on the amount of food you feed her weekly as well as keeping her basking temperature in the low to mid 80'sF.

You think she too hot? She can regulate her own temp but the top of her cage does get warmer that 85
Low 90s

If you lower her basking temperature and watch how much you feed her, she will produce less eggs. The smaller and fewer clutches of eggs she lays, the less stress on her body. I've never had a female veiled, so I haven't had any experience with it first hand. There's a blog about it, called Raising Kitty. It has a lot of really good info.

Is it normal for her too look depressed or wore out still after 5-6 days of laying the eggs?
I've seen her drinking yesterday but I haven't seen her eat. Usually she approaches her food after I leave the cage
