Do you think she's gravid?

[eclipse3]

So here's a pic of my pastel Sunny. I have seen her lock up with my spider male twice for sure but I haven't bred thwm before so I am unsure of whether she is just ovulating, gravid, or just a bit of a porker. lol. She does like to eat! The last two feedings she has killed but not eaten the mouse (I have been giving her smaller more frequent meals) and that isn't like her. She usually will eat anything live or dead. Is it typical for a gravid female to go off feed? You guys on here are so helpful! Thanks =

Palpate her.

Is it that obvious? You can feel the eggs very easily even if I'm inexperienced? That's my issue.... I don't want to go poking around too much and do any damage. I have bred leopard geckos and numerous other mammals but never snakes so I just want to make sure before I go smashing around lol.

Is she eating? Is she hugging her hot spot in a perfect or almost perfect coil? and search palpating on YouTube justin kobylka has a really helpful how to video on it

I'm just going to throw in that the larger the follicles the harder they are to feel, so don't automatically assume she isn't if you can't feel anything.

all my females eat until they are gravid. they will refuse meals. now i have had some 3000-4000 gram girls eat all the way until the pre lay shed.

She is just starting her shed cycle right now with cloudy eyes and pink belly.

From everything your saying it SOUNDS like she is starting her pre lay shed but I am by far a expert on the subject maybe some of the veterans could chime In with their thoughts!
