    Is my female gravid?

    I just bought this female. The old owner couldn't keep her and said she had been paired a few times and should drop any day now. I just can't tell if she's actually gravid. I don't know anything else. Other then the possible males.

    Do her scales look like they are stretched out with space between them? Or do they look like normal spacing? If you let her run through your fingers do you feel stones?

    I think her scales look spaced out. And for the stones. I couldn't quite tell. She seems to stay coiled a lot. And near her vent it's really fat.
    I've only seen one of my snakes gravid. And I also bought her that way. But the difference was I could see every individual egg.
    Should I be able to see the eggs with my new snake?

    Not sure about seeing them but most can feel them.

    Yep you'd be able to feel each egg if she was truly "about to drop them any day". Do you have any incubation plans?

    Ya. I already have eggs incubating.
    I got ahold of the last I bought her from and asked when the snakes POS was. And all she said was the snake shed on either July 24th or 25th. So if that was really her POS. She'll lay towards the end of August. I think
