Default Egg bound?

I'm slightly worried about my leopard gecko, eggs have been visible for about 2 weeks now and she looks huge. She doesn't seem too interested in food at the moment and spends most of her time pacing around. Temp at the warm emd is 80f she gets fed every 2-3 days with dusted locusts and constantly has mealworms in her bowl.
I just find it slightly wierd since last year she layed withing 5 days of the eggs becoming visible.
Any opinions on what you think?

If she is restless and off her food then I would expect the eggs in the next few days. Does she have a decent laying box with damp substrate? Lack of a suitable laying site will deter her from laying.
The temperature at the warm side of the viv sounds much too low to me. It should be 88-90F on the floor - always for all Leos. This could also delay her laying.

Sorry meant 80f in cool, just checked and it's about 90f in warm end.
She has a laying box filled with a mixture of damp vermiculite and spaghan moss.
