Offer her a shallow dish of water. Continue to offer it for a few days until she stops drinking. Definitely make sure she's well supplemented with calcium and that she has access to good UVB. You might avoid any dry foods until you're sure she's well hydrated again.

thanks
I will put the water in right now. She seems exhausted, but still looks lumpy. The room that she is in is not as quiet as I would like it but it is getting better.

the first two were duds yellow and smelly, but it looks like she's still got more to lay!!!!is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable?????

Are you saying she is not laying all the eggs at once??
They should dig a hole, lay all the eggs at once and fill the hole in. Were you letting her see you watching her when she was digging and laying the eggs?

Once in a while I have heard of other lizards dropping the odd infertile egg before laying the whole clutch...but not with uros.

I never saw her lay the the eggs. I gave her a box with verm. in it and she crawled right out and wanted no part of it. I am keeping the area as quiet as possible. Any suggestions for a lay box????she might like
