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!

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?

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.
