I would just leave her be but make sure she has fresh food and water. Between Bonnie and Thelma they both reacted differently after they laid their clutch of eggs.



Thelma simply laid her eggs where she was sitting that particular day even though there were three prime lay spots. After laying her clutch she had some water and ate a few crickets then continued getting a suntan.



Bonnie was different, she took a full day to lay her clutch and around the water dish. Then she took her time to very carefully bury her eggs by moving 3/4's of the habitats sand around the eggs, including the one egg she laid in the water dish itself. Then she had some water and a cricket or two but always kept watching her mound of sand.



It's a new experience for you and it was for myself though the lizards know what to do as it is instinct that is thousands of years old. So just watch her, don't fret, keep her watered and fed with dusted crickets and she should rebound.



Remember she just passed something that is 10 times the size of the orfice it came out of. Anyone would be a little stressed and uncomfortable after that.
