HOW DO I TURN IT URGENT AH HELP

 

[AHBD]

Do you mean she seems sickly now ? It's O.K. that she laid eggs, but what is happening now ? Is she done ? And yes, females will bob at others + some even try to mate. Can you post pics of her ?

 

[DrScales]

I don't know, she's giving me like a stink eye or something, I'm just worried that she's on her carpet instead of something else, is that bad? I'm afraid that now after this clutch she'll be really skinny, I didn't expect any clutch of anything so i didnt prepare

 

[AHBD]

As long as she expelled the eggs then she's fine. If she's skinny, be sure to feed her all she wants, even twice a day and with a good dusting of calcium powder once a day. Give her a bath if that's how she drinks, but pat her dry right after + keep her heat on for another half hour or hour to warm her. Offer water via syringe or eyedropper for extra hydration if she'll take it.

NOW SHES JUST SMACKING THE TIP OF HER MOUTH AGAINST THINGS WTF
HOW MANY MORE EGGS COULD SHE MAKE? SHES HAD 16

 

[AHBD]

You mean like on the eggs ? They do that as an instinct to put the eggs in place where they want them and even though there's no dirt she would push the dirt + tap it down with her nose + chin. She would have pushed the dirt on top of the eggs with her legs, then turned around + used her nose to do the final touches. So even though she had no dirt, she went through the motions because of her strong instinct to cover the eggs. At that point she would have been done....sometimes an egg or two can pop out the next day or so at random.
