Leave her be bro. You can always offer a food item (mouse) and see if she takes it. My female will usualy eat right up until a a few weeks before she lays. If shes looking inverted and plump then Id probably just leave her alone. You could provide some container with a moist substrate (i.e. coconut bedding, moss, etc) but dont make it damp or wet. That will give her something to curl up in and lay.
Or you could just not do anything and shell most likely lay anyway. Good luck.
Check out my post a couple threads down.

It depends on how far along she is (I know that sounds obvious and Im not trying to be smart)
If shes looking real swollen and inverted everyday then it could be within a week or two. Once you see her inverted and swollen thats your que to make sure you got your incubator on.
