What's going on with my female Panther?

OK. So I bred Muffin 15 days ago today. She is not doing good at all. She is on the bottom of her plant, on top of the soil. She is literally laying there like a dog. Temps are good, cage is clean. Enough water is provided. I'm offering her crickets, supers, butters, mealworms, waxworms... she won't take any of them.

Anything I could do to wake her up out of this state?

I have no idea what went wrong.

I have a female Panther named Muffin as well!

Does she have a place to dig aside from the soil of her plants?

Any other changes recently? Gained or lost weight? Change in fecals (consistency, size, frequency)?
Have you picked her up? If so, how is her grip strength and how active was she?
Does she look bloated?

Exclamation Time for vet......

Fifteen days is not long enough for her to be ready to lay the eggs. Something else is going on. The state she is in seems serious enough to warrant an immediate vet visit. It could be a lot of things. It could be an infection, egg production induced MBD, internal problems with the eggs themselves, and on and on. Do you have a reptile vet lined up? Is she drinking anything? I would not waste time with this....laying at the bottom like a dog is not normal and not a matter of "perking up". Let us know what happens.....
