Triple clutch?

So a while ago I was asking about the outcome of a hatch from a pair of corns I had gotten. Well she was a little smaller than I would have bred her to begin with so after she clutched I started pounding the food to her. She started putting weight on fast. Faster than I was expecting in fact. Then May 22, three days after her last meal she had 19 more eggs and1 slug. Now she is even smaller. So eggs to the incubator and back to pounding the food to her to try and put some weight back on her. She has been eating like a champ and all was going well until today. I was getting ready to clean today and realized I had not seen her out and about for the last couple of days. I lifted her hide and took her out and so is even smaller. Baffled I start looking for a regurge and behind one of her ornaments is a third clutch of eggs. They are really dehydrated and sunken but I put them in some orchid moss and we will see if they come back or not. The are 9 eggs and 5 slugs. This is all on one mating. I was not expecting this. Had anybody else had this happen? The poor girl. I think I will give her next year off.
 
I've heard of it once before. I mean, doubling is pretty common, but a triple is very unusual. Just get her feeding and I would recommend next year off for her.
 
Lol. She will be getting a nice long rest that's for sure. Assuming I can save the 9 good eggs she just had, she gave me forty good eggs and only six slugs. And this was supposedly her first year according to the guy I bought her from. A very well earned rest.
 
Try some rat pups on her, and alternately dip their butts in calcium.
