Blu is digging a lot

Pictures please

She is awake and looking around

 

[Carloscruz]

Is she still on the dirt

 

[Miels]

Yeah, she's just laying there

 

[Carloscruz]

Does she look skinnier?

 

[Miels]

She's occasionally moving the dirt as if she's covering them up still, but it's really slow and she isn't making any actual progress

 

[Miels]

Does she look skinnier?

Yes, so much skinnier

 

[Carloscruz]

Leave the room and see if she does anything

 

[Miels]

I just went back to check on her, she's still on the bottom, and she's just walking around the dirt making little craters

Don't let her see you looking at her. Hopefully she has laid all the eggs and is just finishing burying them and will soon return to the branches.

If that's what happens, then later you can dig the eggs up and see how many she laid.

Give her some time. Poor sweetheart is probably exhausted but she is going to cover everything up no matter how slowly she works.

Wow she looks sooo much skinnier!! Good girl! I'm glad you noticed her digging and came here for advice.

She went up so the top and a few hours later I took her bin out, 65 eggs later. She climbed onto the door and when I opened it she climbed into my shirt where she has been hanging out, she has eaten a little bit, but I plan on updating her diet in the morning. She is in such a better mood

 

[MissSkittles]

Wow! That’s a lot of eggs! Poor little honey did quite a job! So, feed her well some yummy hornworms, and other good feeders for the next couple of days and then start on her reduced diet. It may take a couple of laying cycles for things to start to work, but it will help reduce her egg production. One of my girls hasn’t laid in 2 years now.

@Miels please listen to what @MissSkittles said in post #75 about feeding her well for on,y a couple of days and then putting her on the diet. I would keep her basking temperature at 80F too. She's very lucky to have been able to get through laying such a big clutch and you don't want it to happen again. She might not be so lucky next time.

 

[Miels]

She still has some dirt on her face but her coloring is better and she is drinking from her squirter bottle again. I will get rid of the waterfall and change her diet in the next 2 days. One more thing, I noticed after she laid that her nails are rubbed down more than normal. I plan on taking her to the vet for a check up next week as well

Here's another photo

Lets hope she laid all the eggs.

Lets hope she laid all the eggs.

Is there a chance she didn't? How would I know?
