Question About Breeding/Not Eating
Warning: ignorant newbie! 
I have a large 2200 female. She is a normal. At the bottom of this post I will include recent (last week) photos of her. Her name is Jake (she came with that name ) and she is definitely at least a few years old. We've had her for a solid year, and she was big when we got her.
OK, Jake has always been somewhat mild mannered girl. I've never once heard her hiss, and when she is handled she is very docile and not a stressed-out type of snake at all.
She's never been a problem eater. She spends her whole day and night snoozing in her hide out cave, just going to get a drink or soak now and then.
On February 23, I placed her with Kamala, my male 100% het pied from 8-Ball (I did not own a visual pied yet, and had no idea I would be getting one now, so I was going to try to make possible hets to breed back to the male 100% het).
The snakes wasted little time, and I saw them lock more than once. I removed her and placed her back with him one other time the following week.
Never again did she come into contact with any other snake.
Kamala, the male, stopped eating for a few weeks at this time. He then resumed and has been his usual self- calm, docile, a great eater, and a real pleasure.
Jake ate like normal for about a month and a half, but as of late April, she has stopped eating. She is in glowing health as far as I can see. Is there any chance she's actually going to lay eggs from that breeding way back then? I'm pretty confused (and probably will be until I see it with my own eyes) about how the breeding cycle works to be honest. Dogs are a lot simpler! 
We're concerned, so she's seeing our awesome snake vet this week, just to be sure she's okay. Assuming she's not gravid, and I'd guess there is no way she is, then I will eventually breed her with my pied male or my black pastel male or my pastel male; I'm not sure yet.
Anyway, here she is...
