I have a female res I think. She hasn't eaten in over 3 weeks I am sooooo worried. She is supposedly laying eggs. What do I do??!!!

Have you felt for any eggs or confirmed it in anyway?

I found multiple white things that someone confirmed to be eggs. I don't know how accurate they are but they seemed to know their stuff.

If she's finished laying her eggs, she should be back to normal. So either she's still has a few eggs in her or she might be sick. Either way, there should be periods of time where she wants to eat. How her tank is setup, and what she's being offered could be playing a big role in this behavior.

Have you tried treats/live prey?

She finally ate something last night! I fed her about 5 reptomin sticks.
She still kicks her hind legs though.
Thanks for everything.

I'd still try to find out if she needs to nest. Glad to hear she ate!

How do I find out if she still needs to nest?

Try to feel for eggs...
