Hey thanks for the response first of all.

When I suspected she was possibly gravid, I moved her from an 8 sq ft show case with a UV and incandescent basking light, to a lab style molded plastic/plexi glass enclosure with a hot rock and a hide-rock. Not sure but the ambient temp has got to be at least 85, and a hot rock surface temp of 90-100. She also spends a lot of time (almost all of the time) inside the hide-rock. I moved her in the lab unit because it was smaller and I thought would be better suited for her and her babies when she eventually gave birth. Think I should move her back?

Also, much of what I've read online says their gestation is 110 days, which has come and gone, and so is largely why I now have doubts about whether she actually is gravid.
