I WILL HAVE TO POST A PICK, BUT PUT IT THIS WAY SHE LOOKS GRAVID WHEN SHE EATS. WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS DO? CHANCE IT AND BREED HER THIS SEASON OR SLOW DOWN FEEDINGS AND WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR? THANKS FOR YOU HELP.

It's a judgement call IMO. If she's been feeding regularly for the past few years and hasn't grown much after a certain point, she may just be a smaller adult. If she looks gravid after feeding, the foods probably a little big for her, and if that's not making her put on size, then I'd guess she's alright to try breeding.
