Well, unless they mated at an abnormal time of year, more than likely your female is just in the beginning stages of pregnancy if she is gravid, so you might not be able to tell until later. One thing you could try is putting the male in with her and see if he is interested in mating (usually males do not want to mate with an already pregnant female).... but he might not show interest period. She should be darker than "normal" while pregnant - but you just got her so you might not know what she looks like normally.



Are there other ways to tell if a female is pregnant other than waiting or trying to put a male in and seeing his reaction?
