just keep feeding your normal insects such as crickets, silkworms, dubia or lobster roaches, etc. she will probably eat alot of food at first then stop eating before she lays her eggs, so dont be alarmed. also throw in a pinkie mouse here and there, i use frozen pinkies so theres no chance of parasites

I keep them on a slightly modified diet from my regular diet, which is mostly Superworms and Roaches dusted with Calcium/Supplements, Goliath Worms and occasionally Crickets. I go heavy on the Goliaths when the females are Gravid. They keep them really well hydrated and allows them to recover much quicker after they lay. I can't tell you how much Goliath worms benefit gravid females. If you can swing it I would order some of those up. Oh just to warn you they can be really messy. I like to serve them head first so the dragons get all the liquid from the Goliaths. Beachbeardies had some good suggestions too.
Thanks,
Randy
