I'm not sure there's much you can do. Just don't mess with her and keep checking discretely. If you get worried about her because it seems different than last year, contact a vet.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Are you saying that the floor and air temps are the same day and night? If that's the case, it's fine. If it's otherwise, please provide more details.

different people do different things, but in general leopard geckos (which is what I assume you have) need belly heat 24/7, so a het mat is best. Heat lamps can also dry out the air too much.

She just looks very well fed. I can't tell from the belly picture if there are eggs in there or not. If there are, they will look like a pair of white ovals that just about fill the belly.
