From what I've seen with tail waving, etc. from females, it seems this means they're generally NOT ready to breed at that time. I've had them shed a couple weeks later and turn receptive, but never seen courtship directly after the females display the behavior you mentioned. Just my experience though. I'd feed as your doing, and once you decide to cycle her, give her time to digest the last meal(s) before dropping temps. Then start cycling. Best of luck. Take care.
