If you fill up a tub with just enough water to allow her to swim that might help. If you swim them it gets the muscles moving. Always supervise to make sure the snake doesn't drown.
Allow her to do this for a little bit then if nothing try to gently massage the urates out. Once the urates are out then the rest goes with it  .
Let us know if you get her to go.

It's normal to be able to feel them. She probably doesn't have to go yet.

It is perfectly normal to feel several urates at the back end of your short tail. Only very rarely are these blockages and trying to manually palpate them will only cause injury to the snake. Right now I can handle any number of my adults and feel ping pong ball sized urates close to the vent. Soaking is fine as any additional hydration during the dry winter months is always a plus and very well may cause your snake to pass these clumps, but do not be alarmed if he doesn't. Furthermore you will find that these fat lazy snakes don't like to give up their poop that easily as well, as you may notice MONTHS pass without a stool. A short tail with a true blockage will appear unusually distended, like a severely overinflated tire for several days on end. It will also act out of sorts from its normal behavior , sometimes lying on its side, and the rear half can appear limp.
