What form of heating do you use, whereabouts in the tank are you measuring the 82 and what are you using to measure it?

Refusal to feed and over-activity are classic signs of overheating and many folks have been having trouble keeping temps down in this summer's strange weather. I even have that problem here in the UK at the moment - a rare occurrence! Some types of thermometer can be seriously inaccurate.

It's a little late in the season for her to be gravid with infertile eggs and females don't typically show the behaviour of roaming for a mate in the same way that males do (again, very late in the season for that). However giving her a humid hide on the cool side to see what happens wouldn't hurt, as long as long as it doesn't stay in for weeks at a time (they can get scale rot if they decide to stay in it, as I found out).
