She's been lying around in this general position off and on for the past couple of weeks. What do you think? My Pythons do it before oviposition, but I haven't bred Dumerils before. Thank you.

looks gravid to me , belly sideways usually a good sign
Hard to tell with just the pic, my Dumerils generally only do this early on, and for less than a week usually. Then you'll begin to see signs of being gravid, such as a swollen appearance. I have had Dumerils do this roll over w/o being gravid though, so it doesn't necessarily mean gravid, but if you've been breeding her, never noticed this behavior in the past, then more than likely it's a great sign. Best of luck, hope if she's gravid she throws a lot of nice babies your way.
