57 eggs! that is huge!
Do you normally keep them housed together? Other than for the act of mating it is not recommended. Considering what she just went thru I would avoid stressing her in any way. Her poor little body needs to do some "healing" and stress can really cause some problems. She needs to get her strength up so keep her well hydrated and fed. You also want to make sure her calcium level is good, too. If you are definitely going to breed her again you might want to do a calcium check at the vet (not too expensive; once she close to when you think she is ready) to make sure it is in a good range. I am sure many people will disagree and say the vet trip will stress her, but the way Luna's calcium dipped after a clutch and all that I went thru with her, I just think it is a prudent thing to do. Just my opinion. ;-/
Also, if you mate her again are you ready for another 50 babies in a couple months? Whew! Btw, how old is she?
Congrats!
