What in the world is she doing?

So while cleaning tonight I found her doing this. She laid a clutch about a month ago and this is her first shed since laying and she's been eating pretty well. So I'm just kinda curious as to what this is. Her tail also looks kinda lumpy, so yeah confused.

Does she have any adverse reactions to you touching her at all? Sometimes they will lie like this after feeding to get even heat on them. But usually they do this before laying their eggs. Have you felt the lumps in her, do they feel firm at all or slightly soft?Has she pooped since you last fed her?
If you're worried, best option is always the vet though. Better safe than sorry.

She's fine with me touching her. I pulled her out this morning to clean her and she's her usual active self. The lumps seem to be gone and the bank half of her is swelled up like before she poops. I'm starting to think I'm going to have a big mess to clean up after she sheds. She hasn't been with a male in a while and already laid eggs a month ago.
