gravid or not??? im confused

Hi all, I've included a pic to see what you guys think but I'm not sure if my female norm is Gravid or not. These are the last records I have. She weighs 1950g and has done since she last ate which was 3/3/14..
She has locked multiple times with my bee and now there is no longer any visable locks when put together.
She last shed on the 4th march and almost changed colour after that to an axanthic looking python!
She is convex and as you can see the tail looks different.

This is new to me and I suppose if just like to see what others think and how long I should be looking till I get eggs if I get any at all. The last lock witnessed was 29/3/14

Thanks in advance guys

Hmm, I'm new to this as well, but ridge back and egg butt, I'd say gravid. :p

Lol sho. We were working at the same time.

I'm also thinking gravid, and I've have my incubator running - she's gonna pop soon.

Cheers for getting the pics up people! Appreciate it! I hope she does 'pop' soon. Will be my first clutch produced!!!

Cheers guys... So u think it's worth me warming up incubator soon just in case... Hoping she goes into shed soon as after that it's like 14days till the lay on average right? Waited so long for this.

Next year we have 2 visual piers to go together, just need her to put on another 300g male is het albino. :D

Yes definitely get the incubator up and running!

It's actually 30 days give or take on average after the shed.
I don't know if they skip the shed sometimes.. Anyone? Either that or she's way overdue:)

I would warm it up just in case. From the pics, she looks gravid and really close to laying. But the shed date is throwing me, because they normally lay about 30 days after their prelay shed. Of course, they don't always read the books...someone on a Facebook group I participate in recently had a female lay 85 days post shed.

Hi people! just to let you know i got home from work this evening to a clutch of eggs!
Not sure how many yet as have been setting up the vermiculite etc but good job i turned on the incubator! really chuffed and now just anxious to see how many ive got! thanks for the advice! will post pics soon!!!!

Congrats now the real wait beginsSent From My Man-Cave

THANKS AGAIN PEOPLE!!!!!!!

So she laid, and actually didn't shed for 87 days before that? This might really help me cause I've had one that looks gravies but it's been almost 45 days since last shed and 60 some odd since last lock but by looks I'll swear she's gravies, though I can't "feel" any eggs. Started to assume she must not be
