I would try and feed her small meals and see how she does. My Gravid snakes mostly eat while the are gravid, but in less amounts. They will stop eating near time to give birth. I would advoid big meals until you are sure she has conceived, if not there is no sense in not feeding and non-gravid animal during their main feeding time, which brings me to the other point, you are fairly late in the breeding season, now if you are a Northern breeder, it would make sense, but if you are in a southern state and do not think she has bred until now, I would say that your planning was off by a few months. For the most part, following your natrual weather cycle, is your best bet for breeding, instead of trying to create your own with lights and timers.
Good Luck
