Does something look wrong?
What D3 are you using is it a mulitvitamin or just D3? Because she should be getting a multivitamin 2 times a month on the opposite weeks your giving D3 unless your D3 is a combo multivitamin.
Because she is eating sand... These are questions to ID the reason. Most commonly something is missing in their husbandry for them to do this... So supplementation issue, lighting issue, feeder issues, etc.
Hopefully you purchased the T5HO fixture and 5.0 or 6% bulb for the UVB lighting. This is the one that is recommended within the hobby for chams.
If you have not done a husbandry review you should consider it. Females also should not be fed everyday at a certain age. Temps at basking and increased food means them developing a huge clutch that they can have issues laying. The fact that she has had the wrong UVB increases risk of her developing MBD. You combine this with too many eggs and this increases her risk for egg binding.
