She's packed with something. Either you have been feeding her way too much, or she's full of eggs.. 
Make sure to post pics of the babies when the hatch out.

I think that You have been feeding her to much. She is packed on whole body from behind the head to the end of body. If this will be only eggs she will be packed only in one area. This is my personal opinion. But she will be definitely in good condition after laying eggs ! Good luck with them !

It looks as if she has been fed a lot... From my experience with breeding other species, overweight females tend to have problems when it comes to ovulating...
If she is not gravid, I suggest you let her skip a few meals... Thats just my personal opinion based on my observations...
I do hope she is gravid and produces some awesome hatchlings for you...

Looks like she may be.
That lavender color coming through looks cool.

Thanks for the replies everyone!
I posted this b/c i am not sure either. She has always been a good eater, but it is definitely not my intention to "stuff" her. She had stomatitus a few months ago... and even so, she still will not miss a feeding. I give her 2 hoppers every week. But she always wants more.
I will skip a few meals to see what happens.
Regards,
Kenny

Its not my intention to stuff my hogs either but I like to watch them eat... LOL
I have a female that will eat every day if I offered it to her... She is a beast... I admit, I fed her a lot before I put her down for brumation... 8 weeks in brumation she has only lost 2 grams... Go figure... I was expecting her to lose a bit more than that...
My point is, I guess some gain and retain weight better than others... I dont think you are over feeding... You just have one of those hogs...
She is beautiful by the way...
