So I took my girl to be ultrasounded and radiographed to look for follicles. I got back the results and was excited to see she had eggs. But then on anothor post in this forum I was told the "eggs" looked more like follicles... So which is it? I am seriously starting to second guess myself, but after watching NERD videos, and examining other people's snake x-rays I am thinking she is gravid. I am interested in any feedback because this whole process is a learning experience for me. I am in vet school, and hoping to go into herp medicine. This ball python is also the first one I have bred, and so I am stressed out about her taking or not. Here are the images:

The Ultrasound image taken on April 18th:


Lateral Mid Body Radiograph with what I think are 5 eggs (or are they follicles?)


Full body view for size and orientation


Lying on her back resting her belly on April 25th


Looks like she is getting fatter to me (she has not eaten since April 10th), also note the very deflated tail (does that have meaning?):


Full body view. She has a swelling in the last 2/3 of her body and is getting a prominent spine. Also appreciate her whacked out pattern that I hope is reproducible!


Thoughts, anyone?
