I have a female that hasn't eaten since january, in that time she laid a clutch of eggs. I wasn't too worried because she was gravid and a good size but I was expecting her to eat after she laid her eggs. The eggs are almost done incubating and she hasn't touched food yet. On top of that she is looking bad, the eggs took alot out of her.

I have decided I am going to attempt assist feeding soon, I know its frowned upon unless really necessary but I believe in this case it is necessary.

I get the basic idea but I am open to any suggestions/tips so I am not playing with trial and error. I would prefer to do it properly the first time to prevent any unnecessary stress. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post the details here.

Thanks for any help you can give no matter how small or big.
