Its great to hear from folks from other parts of the world who are keeping eastern indigo snakes; they surely are great animals. I agree with what Steve said. You are probably noticing, assuming the female is gravid, that she is looking somewhat swollen in her lower half and many gravid indigos stop feeding. If your's is still feeding, I would recommend only feeding SMALL prey like large adult mice or small rats. Make sure you have an egg laying chamber like a plastic storage box with a hole cut in the lid and filled with a few inches of slightly dampened spaghnum moss. Keep us posted.
