She's a layin'!

That's a lot of eggs. You've been overfeeding her.
@kinyonga that was my concern and question too. Thank you for pointing that out. She was a rescue/adoption and it's obvious I over compensated in some areas of her care ie feeding her. I'll definitely be cutting back. Again thanks for all your help
 
Feed her well for a COUPLE OF FEEDINGS then start to cut her back. This seems to lower the clutch size better and in a few months she should be shut off completely or lay much smaller clutches. You don't want to cut her back so far that she is thin and sickly. I also cut the basking temperature to just over 80F to slow her metabolism down a bit so she won't "feel" so hungry.
Good luck.

Overfed female veileds not only lay huge clutches but develop MBD usually and other health issues and often prolapse. Many suffer from follicular stasis and egg binding too.
