I woke up my Hermanns yesterday (12 weeks down), and overnight she has laid 5 eggs. She’s laid one or two in the past but not so soon after hibernation.
She’s never been mated and is now 13.
Is this normal? She obviously had them throughout her hibernation.

That is not the norm in several ways. Most females don't produce eggs when they haven't been in the presence of a male, and laying eggs over night is unusual as this is normally a daytime activity. Its also very unusual to do this within hours of waking up from brumation.

Be glad she passed them. I'd soak her every other day for a while to make sure she's hydrated.
