If your female is cooling down (wrapping around a water dish) she is likely developing follicles (building up) unless off course your husbandry is off and she needs to cool down.
Now before and before it is too late would be a good time to pair her, when the follicles are the size of a dime (and on large bulky female it's not always easy to feel) females are prime for breeding, when the follicles are the size of a quarter the females no longer need to be paired.
