Hi Laila,
If she is feeding like you say, and passing fecals, she sounds good to go.
About resting, hmmmmmmmmm not sure how that applies to herps. They are not designed to rest. Not how we mean it. They attempt to gain the strenght and health as quick as possible and go for it. In nature, there is no quarantee of tomorrow. again, its their design. That is, if they can, they do, if they can't, they don't. Your only choice is to support what they do. If a female attempts a second clutch, I do not think its good to limit support.
Which means, if she feeds well and cycles again, your best decision is to allow breeding. Its my experience in captivity that normal reproduction is much easier on the female then failed reproduction. Its harder to absorb ovum then lay good eggs.
Also if it was the male not having time to develop sperm, then now he does. Supporting a second clutch will help you learn about what caused the first failure. Best of luck
