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

The best way to tell is to put a sock on your hand. Put her head into her hide so she will crawl into it and grasp her with the sock. Using one finger through the sock on her ventral surface perss as she crawls. You will be able to feel and count the eggs. Fat snakes look like gravid snakes the only way to tell is to palpate har as mentioned above. It is easy to do and you will be able to count how many eggs she has.
