A 2 year old dragon not producing any eggs should be getting 80-90% of her diet salad. 48 crickets a week and a large mouse is too much. Reduce crickets to maybe a 12-20 large crickets a week and skip the mouse completely. Even a pinky mouse isn't good more than once a month as a rare treat.

As for your salad, ice berg lettuce is useless and too much carrots and broccoli isn't good either. The collard greens are fine but I suggest adding dandelion greens, mustard greens, turnup greens, endive, escaroli and other calcium rich greens with only a small portion (maybe 20% of greens) of vegetables daily. Use as much variety as possible and rotate green/vegetable types weekly as they are available. FOr a more complete list of healthy greens to feed a dragon check out:
