she doesn't look gravid to me, so feel around for eggs. If you still don't feel them, make sure she is in a good environment with good heating. If you do feels little hard things around the base of her hind legs and around that area, make sure you switch her to a diet for gravid females (lots of calcium!).

Thanks for the help, i'll make sure that when she is gravid that i do change her diet. here is a picture of my male, if you thought my female looked good.

The babies will be VERY colourful! My male looks much like yours, but is generally brighter with peachish-brown between yellow stripes for his show-off/mating colours.
