Just make certain she has access to water and a moist hide to stay hydrated and offer plenty of food with supplements for her restore her resources from producing eggs. You may want to consider adding a multivitamin weekly (or switching to a combo supplement that has vitamins, calcium, and D3 if you prefer), but your care seems fine. You may also want to minimize handling just to give her some quiet recovery time.

Thank you- she has been staying in her humid hide for a while, has a water dish, hasn't been picked up since 2 days before she passed the egg and isn't interested in food so we just quietly observe to make sure she's ok. She has become more active over the past few days. Hoping for a full recovery of the beautiful girl.

update-she has eaten voraciously the past 2 feedings and is doing well. im very glad she made it and on her own without the stress of a vet visit! i was so worried, shes a beautiful girl and i would have been heartbroken. she is developing the next clutch and i will monitor her closely

Very good to hear she is eating well and gaining strength for her next clutch.
