Looks like she was just impacted.

That possibility had occurred to me before, because right before the fasting period started I'd gotten lazy and fed her mostly superworms for about a week, but when repeated soaking and increasing substrate moisture and humidity didn't make a diference I sort of ruled that out. Today when I checked on her, though, she'd hit the water bowl and excreted a very small amount of stool along with a superworm shell and a bunch of pieces of roach chiton. She also apparently hit the food bowl, which had three roaches and superworm (certainly not going to give her many of those again, but they do trigger the strongest feeding response, so I still think one of them is sometimes a useful tool) and her food intake yesterday apparently went from one fuzzy to one fuzzy, one superworm, and one medium to large Death Head nymph. Looks like I can postpone the vet trip, which is a big plus, because she really hates being handled.
