Egg question

[Old&bold]

I am aware large clutches are not good so when my unmated female Veild laid 100 in her first clutch I took advice and lowered the basking temp and reduced feeding to two medium to Large locusts every other day her second clutch produced 90 eggs so I thought ok numbers are going down. She has just laid her third clutch of 100 eggs

Is this normal, is there anything else I can try that might reduce numbers or am I stuck with large clutches ?

She is fit and healthy showing no signes of poor condition or dehydration or ill effects from laying

That is a tremendous amount of eggs! I feed my female veiled two medium size crickets 3 times a week and so far she has not laid eggs. She is 17 months old and look healthy, not skinny. Her’s a photo of her.

The problem is that eventually, if she keeps producing this many eggs, she will not be able to lay them all and likely develop follicular stasis as well.

What is the basking temperature?
How big are the locusts?
