It doesn't look like she's ready to lay eggs yet. Watch for dehydration. I know that my fem v. cham eats proportionately less as she gets bigger and bigger, the week before she deposits her eggs for me she hardly eats at all. Also throughout that week she will dig around the bottom of her cage getting ready or 'nesting'. However as she starts to get bigger but is not ready to lay she does rest more.
