She could've been stretching, relaxing or avoiding overheating the eggs. Keep an eye on the temperature in the nesting spot. And most definitely keep the humidity level high.

I say that if she'll eat, feed her. You've got the right idea, nature knows best and nobody knows what she needs better than her. The secret to great husbandry is to offer them choices and let them decide.

I wouldn't feed her till she's stuffed but keep her satisfied. She's burning up quite a bit of energy incubating the eggs. You're on the right track.

My female Burmese ate till she laid eggs but wouldn't eat once on the eggs, last year & this year. Feeding while incubating isn't common but not unheard of. It's few & far between.

Keep us posted!
