Skinny tail after laying a few clutches

My girl Zelda has been laying eggs for the past couple months. So far she has layed 4 clutches...8 eggs.
Her tail is quite skinny now. She's also lost a bit of her body mass. I have had her for almost a year, and she had grown to have a nice fat tail. Is laying eggs putting such a stress on her body? She poops every day, but it is a bit lighter than ususal. She is housed with a male in a 30 gallon tank. She's still shedding normally. I just watched her go over to her water dish and take a drink. She's hanging out on the warm side...which is 85 degrees right now.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I guess I'm going to do a fecal exam tomorrow. :?

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
