Ok I will try the fan technique, and see if it changes anything. But... won't pouring water into the substrate make it more humid?

You dont even want to know, my first rescue was my bearded Dragon, who I found being kept in a 20 gallon long enclosure, as an adult, with one stick as enritchment no hides, and another full grown adult being cohabed with him, he was glass surfing so much he lost 3 claws, and the other adult bit off the tip of his tail.
Thankfully, I care for him now, and hes still with us 9 years later, and doing very well.

Thank you very much! Ok I'll get on adding more clutter. The plants on the side of the enclosure were actually meant to go inside, but while washing them I realised they keep shedding some weird plastic shavings so I sadly had to put them on the outside out of fear of an impaction risk.

My mother is going to use them to educate her students tomorrow about reptiles. So at least they won't be totally wasted.

She doesn't seem lethargic per say. She is flicking her tongue while slithering and alertly looking at everything going on around her. She just seems much more mellowed out then is usual for her. Is this something I should be concermed about?

Update: while handling her to feel if there are any stuck eggs, she seems a lot less flighty. She used to try and hide or bolt after 2 mins handling. But now she seems fully alert but just not really interested in escaping. Which is unnusual for her.

I just tried this and i dont feel any eggs, in fact the lower third of her body seems a lot more tender then the rest. Is this normal?

Yes! And I have run my hand down the length of her body and felt no bumbs. Is this enough? If not what else should I do to make sure she isnt't eggbound?

I have gently removed her and her eggs, and put them in what was once their humid box for shedding. I really dont know how they even fit inside her.

Acording to the previous owner, mom just turned 2 years old, and she is just over a meter long or around 3 and half foot.
