Wait till after she sheds then start her off with small meals IE if she usually eats a small mouse every 7 days, try a peach fuzzie every 4 instead to gradually build her up again over 3-4 weeks then re start her on a normal diet.
She's a little young though isn't she for breeding? Thats my opinion anyway and i wish you every sucses.

As to what to do with the hatchlings, buy something like those http://www.livefoods.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=220 to house them individualy in for a short period or something similar.
 
Thanks!! I know she is young but it was my mistake! I didnt keep her in her own viv! Sooo she stayed in with my bubblegum...so it happend!
 
It does sometime's, she should be ok though with a bit of care and attention.
Keep us updated on the progress.
 
If she's looking weak already, it might be worth trying to feed her immediately. Some of mine can take up to a week after laying for their post-lay shed and she'll be getting weaker in the meatime. I'd offer her her normal food anyway - she can then decide whether to ignore it or eat.

In the meantime, get some supplements into her water as she'll be dehydrated by laying and will want to drink more often for a couple of days. This is a great way of boosting post-lay females. I'd use a general vitamin supplement - I'm in the UK, so I'd use Critical Care Formula. A calcium supplement might also be advisable as she's so young (we have Zolcal-D in the UK). As long as she was eating well before laying, I wouldn't worry about a pro-biotic at this stage.

Good luck and keep us posted.
