If she still has good body weight, I'd say you can put her back in. Normally though, my females look pretty pitiful after they lay their eggs. That second clutch is really stressful. So, I usually feed them every other day until they shed (usually within a couple of weeks) and then try again, if I'm going for the double-clutch. I don't really like to do that much, though. I'd prefer normally to be satisfied with one clutch per season and not stress my females so much.
