Gonna have someone take a look that are more experienced w/ egg laying etc-
She got back w/ me this is what she has said
Hi! Thank you for your help. I did exactly what you said and she laid about 16 eggs and I’m pretty sure she is done now. However, it’s been 2 days since she laid her eggs and she still hasn’t eaten. I’ve offered everything and even had to force feed her applesauce but she resisted pretty hard. She has gone from 3 lbs to less than 1 lb. Any ideas on what to do?
She needs calcium - Tracie will haft to help in that dept -- not sure why shes off her food tho --
I got a hold of another person that can help this is what she has said
Lethargic or hyper, lots of contrast. Zero interest in any food. I had her in a 75 gallon but I broke it cleaning it out and won’t have another one until Wednesday. Right now she is in a temporary 40 gallon. Tank is 100 degrees on one side and 70 on the other. She has also been wheezing but that’s been going on for months.
If shes wheezing shes got a possible RI- any mucous or nasal or mouth drainage? -- please go over your surface basking temps and how your taking them NO stick ons they are inaccurate - your UVB your using coil or a tube --- -- she does not look good in the pic -
110 degrees on the hot side measured from surface. 75 degrees on cool side. UVA on hot side (it was a ceramic heater but I just replaced it with a UVA bulb). The middle of the tank is a combination of UVA halogen bulbs and UVB mini bulbs inserted into an overhead dome light. And then another UVB tube light on the cool side. She seems to have gotten depressed once we removed her infertile eggs. She had lots of energy before (even though she was not eating).
Please get rid of the UVB mini bulbs --- you want a long tube fixture like one of these--- what is the UVB tube light your have now is it a T 5 or a T 8? Is it inside the tank and how old is the bulb -- I posted websites for you for UVB's if you need them ---
