    Very possible sees gravid. If you look at her belly you should be able to see the eggs through her scales.

    When they are close to laying, the stop eating and stay in their lay box. You will definitely be able to see the eggs in her belly as well.
    Do you have any pics of her you can share?

    It is possible she is gravid and waiting to lay, but it's also possible that she has just decided she likes it in there. Some of mine including both males and females spend most of their time in their humid hide. They all have their favorite spots. As for her eating, it is normal for females to stop eating while they're gravid. Just be sure she doesnt lose too much weight.
