Gravid, or False alarm?

I got a 4 yr old bp about 6 months ago(I stupidly didn't ask if she had any contact with any males, ya see, these people wanted all their snakes gone asap) And its been a week and a half since her last shed and she had just been really bright, glossy and glowy. Ive never seen this(I dont breed) so i looked it up online and found this could be the "Glow before they Go!" stage before ovulation. I also felt her lower half and found it to be a bit hard. I just would like to know what others think about this, So i dont end up with eggs and no incubator.
Thanks a lot everyone!https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...hSVUyTm9r/view

If she has not ovulated yet she is not gravid , however if the is glowing she will.

Where does she spend most of her time in the enclosure, cool or hot side?

Shes normally on her heatpad and still is eating.

Well, so a female that glow is a female that is about to ovulate (of course if what you see is really a glow) it occurs up to 6 weeks before ovy, during that time however the animal will remain on the cool side, they cool themselves down as they build up (follicular development)

Now a female that has ovulated will move back to the warm side however it is very rare to see a female eating after an ovy, I think in 10 years I may have had 1 (just to show how rare it is)

So right now based on the description it's really hard to tell.

Oh, well, I'll keep an eye on her and see what happends. Thank you!

I also just went up to check on her, and she was on the cool side of her cage, todays feeding day, so ill see if she will eat.agin, thank you a lot!
