She looks good. Did you see her ovulate? You could try to feed her. MOST females won't eat. Or temp her. If she is gravid, she should be around 86 degrees. Good luck. Marshall

We never saw her ovulate. She will take a small or medium f/t rat but not everytime she is offered will she take it... As for her temp she is always on the heat side looking like a cinna bun lol and so her temp is always around 87 to 87.3 is that too hot then?

If her body temp is always 87*ish there is a good chance she is gravid.
I've noticed fems that are gravid will accept food.
In many cases those that have slugs will not eat.
Just my observation.
Merry Christmas
