Just wondering if she looks gravid to you guys as well. These were taken before she swallowed her mouse.

The shot of the underbelly it looks possible....the belly looks curved...let her run over your hand with your fingertips on her belly and feel for bumps(eggs)....
Here is a pic of my gravid blizzard for comparison but note that every snake is different...my banded didn't look gravid last year and layed 14 eggs...

That one is about to pop. I expect Hope to get bigger if she is indead gravid. At the most she is only 2 weeks along....

You have a while for her to get big...I give my females an extra hopper along with an adult and i put calcium powder on them to help with the eggs...as they get farther along i give them 2 hoppers until they stop eating..
Good Luck...
