give them as much water as they will drink every day, and mist their enclosures alot...and give them a flowerpower/yens blend mix it with honey and water until you get a paste, thrn feed that to them...

 
When my girls won't lay I put them on the ficus tree in my room and they always lay. May take a day or two but the live plant stimulates them to lay. So if you've got a large plant, tree-like if possible, that is safe from pesticides, put them on it for a few days. If that doesn't make them lay it may be too late to save them.

+1 I agree. Also bump the humidity a little as previously suggested by Andrew.

 
Fortunately I haven't had too much experience with eggbound females...only have had a couple. I have had some success just by changing their environment. One female was looking for something suitable to lay her ooth and wasn't pleased with what I had in her terrarium. Like Henry suggested, I have also tried using live plants.
