if she's laying them in a damp laying box/hide at the warm end of the viv check her every 12 hours, the eggs should be fine for 48 hours or longer depending on what the laying box is like ie if it's a similar environment to inside an incubator.
usually within 24 hours she'll have laid all her eggs, although it make take another day or so. |

There is moss in her box and its in the warm end the moss feels warm to the touch and is moist so hopefully that will be ok till tomorrow then il take the eggs out and put them in the incubator

| sounds like a good plan. give her a quite check over visually if you can, or a quick run through your hand, to check she hads no retained eggs then leave her be for a day or so then try offering her a smaller than usual meal. |

not necessarily a vet job, it's physically demanding laying so many relatively huge eggs, she might just be tired and needing a breather (from a female perspective!) or you can try a warm bath to try and get things moving again, i found a bath on an evening got the rest of the eggs laid by the following morning. any more than 3 days and i'd phone your reptile/exotic vet for advice. i recently spoke to my local rep specialist who confirmed there's no obvious signs of distress to look out for....... reassuring and yet worrying at the same time!  |

fantastic, they all look good
just need to bury them a little deeper in the damp verm so they don't collapse with lack of moisture, then ideally cover with damp sphag moss but not essential |
