can anyone suggest a good feeding schedule (quantity of bugs, how many times per day), and a good supplementing schedule for caclium and vitamin?

Veiled, right? 9 months old? First clutch?

If so... reduce her intake to 5-6 crickets every other day (full sized female crickets). Be sure to feed the plump female crickets - look for the ovipositor extending from the back. The female crickets are more nourishing for female lizards - chemically.

Dust feeders with phos-free calcium powder with D-3 (Rep-Cal or other brand) once per week. If she gets too fat and weak, you may have to use liquid calcium. But cutting back on the food will usually limit the clutch size to 24-30. Vitamin dust - twice per month.

Hope this helps,
