Try giving her a few different options to lay in. nest boxes, use dirt, vermiculite, sand and peat she will pick a place to lay keep them moist.
 
Either make sure you have a couple of laying tubs with moist spagnum moss in them or plantation soil and sand or you can make sure you keep a corner of the enclosure moist by misting it.
Do you have a male in with her?
What are you using for substrate?
 
i have two nest boxes one with red desert sand another with peat moss both moist 24/7 and the substrate is red desert sand
 
Are the laying tubs at opposite ends of the enclosure (cool end/ warm end)?
Are they clear or blacked or dark? and does she go in them?
 
yer one tub is in either end and there in cricket tubs
 
should i try another tub with vermiculate so there will be three tubs in there
one with sand another with peat moss and vermiculate

Yeah why not, it can`t hurt. As Mrsl said try using a n ice cream tub or anything that wont let light in. You could also try getting a can of black spray paint and paint the sides and tops of your containers but don`t paint the bottom of the containers that way you can check for eggs easily. make sure the paint is definatly dry before you put the tubs back in.:)
 
I just use vermiculite with my thickies but i have also had one female seem to be hanging on for awhile but she sems well and fine so i will let her go/ when they are ready to lay you will notice a considerable amount of time spent digging, Looking at the pics i think she still has awhile to go
 
Sounds like you're doing everything right, at lower temps they take longer to lay so I wouldn't be too worried.
