I think my girl is dying

So, I got her around L4 in maybe late June. She's grown to adulthood and is still beautiful, but I fear she is likely dying soon. Persephone had been very lethargic and she doesn't hold up her abdomen anymore. At the time on writing this, I think she may be trying to lay an unfertile ooth, as I haven't mated her. (always wanted to) Or that she's pheremoning for males.

Her movement has also been very off, aside from being lethargic, as her raptorials get very twitchy.

Regardless of what happens, I want to try and let her pass naturally; letting nature take it's course, but here are some of the last photos I took of her because I never took enough unfortunately.
