ANSWER: Hi Kasadee,
Good book!!
Wow...thats my Sons birthday...but he will be 28..
Please read the care sheet that I sent you on proper uvb...chances are, yours are not producing any uvb any longer or were never the right kind..as you remember, uvb is vital to them.
You temperatures are a bit off....your night time temps you list should be your cages overall temperatures  with just one area in the 92-96 degree range. As I said, her cage is way to small for an ig to have the proper room to move around.
Your diet is fine...
I'm just hoping that this egging and not other health issue such as metabolic bone disease.
Please email me privately at Diane@scalesandtails.org so as to not tie up the allexperts with trying to get things sorted out for you....
