Carefully washed and put back in her own tub--virtually every female of mine will eat the day after she lays. (I don't offer food the same day, I figure she must be exhausted and needs some rest).
As long as the scent of the clutch is gone, they quickly become ravenous. I offer a smaller than usual prey item so as not to overtax their system after the long fast, and then offer food as usual on schedule thereafter.
However, it took 1.5 months to get a non-laying female eating after she took a 45 minute car ride and was set up in a new home. (Local purchase). Some balls HATE being moved, lol.
