buddha needs a diet

well buddha is a heffer. she destroys her greens and then stands in her bowl like she demands more. same with the crickets. she just eats everything i give her , not that its a bad thing , but she is pooping 2 times a day on some days and her stomach feels and looks like its packed.
im sure some of you have had a similar problem (if it is even one?). what should i do? shes currently getting 30-35 crickets a week and a bowl full of greens daily.

How old is Buddha? How long is she (make sure to mention if it is to vent or full length)? Do you know her weight?

To me it sounds like she is really healthy and it does not seem like a lot to me for a adult dragon.

shes a little over 2 years old. about 22 inches from nose to tip of tail. the last time i checked her weight , she was somewhere around 550 grams but im sure that has changed. ill put her on the scale tonight.
she had laid some eggs a couple months ago and has been eating like this since then.

22 inches is pretty big. I think they jokingly call them monster on this forum. Janie has a couple like that. You should put a picture of her and maybe one of the Mod will have something so say but Sounds like she just has a very good menu!
