Is she done laying eggs?

[AshleyClark007]

Hello everyone. I have a Veiled Cham who has laid unfertilized eggs. I thought she was done because she was just resting on a vine. so I took her out I put her back in her cage and took the eggs out of the bucket. There was 32. when I looked over at her she was digging again in her cage. I put her back in there and I believe she laid more I seen her in her hole and I seen little white things. now she is covering the hole. But she still looks like she has some in her? do you think she will be done this time? should I wait? how many eggs do they lay? If anyone can help that would be awesome.

Depending on her temps and amount you feeds her it could be a lot! It can be up to 80-100! Do you feed her a lot?

Not really. I normally feed her every day about 10-20 Crickets. But sometimes if I run out of crickets she goes a day without eating. and her tems are around there. sometimes even around 75.

Sorry its around 80f but sometimes I put it at 75f

80f is absolutely fine. 20 crickets is a huge huge meal for her though Once they reach egg producing age you want to really but back to help prevent huge infertile clutches. Laying all the time will drastically shorten her life as it takes a lot out of her little body. I do think she's laid so many because she's been eating a lot.

I feed my girl one or two bugs a day and she hasn't produced any eggs yet. The girls will often eat and eat and eat but they really don't need that much, they're just greedy

Once she's finished laying you can feed her up for about 3-4 days but then I would reccomend tapering her off to just a couple a day. Be sure to give her lots to drink and a nice misting too

How did it go? And what was the final egg count?
