Hi mgl,
I also had a female this year that was most certainly gravid and never laid her clutch. I knew she was gravid because I was able to palpate eggs before her pre egg laying shed. She also appeared to thin out within a month afterwards as your female did. I can now palpate what feels like small lumps within her upper reproductive tract. I fear that these are calcified eggs and may cause egg binding if I attempt to breed her again. It makes me wonder if egg re-absorption occurs during early stages of egg formation, and that egg calcification happens in later stages. Can you feel anything when you palpate your female? Could anyone else elaborate on this subject?
