It's too hard to tell. In most cases when looking at photos it's inconclusive if a female is gravid unless it's at the later stages when it's pretty obvious. Neither of my creamsicles have had their eggs yet, so I wouldn't be too worried.
It's easier to tell if a female is gravid by feeling the eggs, which will cause the female to be firm rather than soft. By letting the snake crawl through your fingers you can sometimes not only feel, but be able to count the eggs - though this takes some practice.
