She has not been with a male.

My rat snake did the same thing last summer. While fighting respiratory infection too. After laying 9 eggs (all duds of course, no male), she was ready to start eating again.
It really caught me by surprise too, but in the end she was fine, and 2 weeks of antibiotics shots got her over the RI.

if she has had only one egg, and it has been quite a wile, check for any other bulges. If she has any, she may be egg bound. I recommend a visit to the vet for possible xrays

Agree with Misty. Also this may sound odd, make sure it is an agg and not a well form piece of poo. It's would not be the first time someone made the mistake.
good luck

wouldn't hurt to set her up an egg laying container...dampened moss in a container big enough for her to coil loosely in should work.
