I'm worried that you will stress her out too much....but then I also wonder why it's only been two months since she had the baby you have from her. @JacksJill ?

I hope either @JacksJill or @Kaizen can answer your questions about the supplements.

So calcium with no d3 is a great supplement, but your uvb must be on point. Do you have a solar meter? @JacksJill will probably have an on-point supplement regime. I don’t use any d3 with any of my chams, nor do I use preformed vitamin A, so my supplement regime might be less than ideal, if you’re not constantly monitoring your chams, and taking an obsessive approach to insect nutrition.

Gestation in a first breeding maybe 6-9 months but they can have several clutches from a single breeding and those may only be 3-4 months apart but usually more like 3 months apart. The more you feed her the bigger the clutches she will have.
There are several popular supplement schedules. This is the one I use Calcium with NO D3 Monday ,Wednesday, Friday every week very lightly. For adults and older juveniles I substitute a very light dose of Repashy Calcium Plus LoD on about half of their feeders two of the Mondays of the month. For babies under 6 months I only substitute one Monday a month with the LoD. I have T5 HO lights or the equivalent on all my cages and this combo seems to work well for my setup.
The reason I only do half the feeders is to limit the dose I do not give calcium that day.

I got her an automatic humidifier and added a lot more branches she seems to be much more active! (( she was chewing in that photo that's why her mouth looks so weird lol))

 

[caroline?]

I’ve heard that term for infertile snake eggs before.

They don´t lay eggs so no bin is needed.
