do you think miss millypants is gravid?

It doesn't look like she is. Any reason to suspect she is? Have you paired her with a male? When they have eggs in them, the back 2/3 of the body looks swollen, very easy to spot. Though at that point its much closer to lay time.

If you've been breeding lately she could be gravid, but by the pics alone doesn't look it.

thanks, she has been paired with a male about 3 weeks ago, but i didn't witness any locks as i left them overnight and then separated in the morning before going to work. they were paired in a display viv, so there was no locking "evidence."

the other day when i was putting her back, as she was slinking back into her viv, i felt what i thought to be little bubbles inside her back end, and she just shed about 14 days ago.

just wishful thinking, i think!

I would say maybe leaning more toward yes. In the last two pictures you can make out bumps down by her vent.

when she runs through my fingers, with my index finger on her belly and my thumb on her back, i can feel what seems like little gas bubbles in her belly. i felt our other adult female corn, she does not feel like this.

i hope she's gravid! time will tell. the only thing having me leaning toward not gravid, is that she's not searching around for somewhere to lay her eggs.

In my experience, corns aren't shy about locking up. If it doesn't happen within 15 minutes, its not happening, at least not that go around. However, possible that they did. In another week or so you should really start to see some swelling in the back 2/3 that will be obvious. Then she'll have a pre-lay shed and then lay 7-14d after that.
