My female Veiled just produced about 60 infertile eggs! She is my first female cham so I was unaware that she was gravid so I had not given her a laying bin for her eggs. However, just last night I found her on the floor of her cage and found all her eggs. I removed all of her eggs already, gave her a laying bin, and threw some crickets dusted with calcium w/o D3. My question is, is there anything I need to do now that she laid eggs? Since she laid her eggs she has been lethargic but I'm pretty sure that is normal after laying 60 eggs. She has remained at the bottom of her cage until I gently put her on her basking branch because I was worried that she was not getting enough light. I attached a picture of her 24 hours since she laid her eggs. Does she look ok? Is there a possibility that she still might need to lay more eggs? I just want to make sure she is comfortable and healthy after laying her clutch.

She looks very dehydrated, have you offered her water?
What makes you say she is dehydrated? I have a mistking set to mist her cage every couple hours, normally she drinks from that. I have not seen her drink today but I have not been starring at her all day so it is possible she drank when I simply was not around to witness it.

The sunken eyes can occur from a long period of time from not taking in enough water,the cham is drinking but just not enough water to make the eyes looks plump,even though with all the help from the mister or dripper,certain cham just wont taking in water as much as they supposed to.
Another possibility is the cham has some internal parasite,and it will need the fecal test to confirm with the possibility.
