Question
http://www.allexperts.com/user.cgi?m=6&catID=704&expID=91060&qID=4934456

Since the site wouldn't let me ask more follow-up questions. I also posted above the last question, and I'll be continuing from that.

Well about a week since i spoke to you last, not much change in the females attitude, still wont open her eyes or eat, but she isn't loosing much weight like barely anything, but her activites have increased from swimming to just moving around, later to find out she lay another egg.
*How many eggs do females usually lay and how long after laying eggs do they start again ?

On the other side the males is eating regularly and his lip has darkened like a scab but the left side of his jaw is swolen and i'm a bit concerned about that.

Thats about all. Thanks.

Answer
Hello Michael,

Yes, it will have you make another thread after so many follow ups.  
Well, they can lay clutches of up to 20+ eggs most of the time.  How many total has she laid so far?
Does it look like the male's mouth is getting infected since there is marked swelling on the one side of his jaw?
At least he is eating pretty well right now.  
If she still is not eating, you may need to start feeding her some chicken or turkey baby food, daily.  

Keep me posted on them both.
