She was probable my best eater until I started breeding. She seems interested but will not strike at frozen prekilled or live. Thanks and let me know!
Yes she could be gravid and lay eggs. You should continue to breed her if you are not sure. There are ways to tell if she is, but it's not really simple for a rookie. Palpating is the best way.

She may never eat again...although most likely she will. If she's gravid though she probably won't eat until after she lays good or bad eggs.
