i have a female and i male ball python living in the same cage and for the past 2 months my female hasnt eaten but hasnt lost only a little bit of weight she is a little over 4 ft and my male is like 3.5 do you think she may be gravid i havent bred any reptiles yet i was planning on trying next year do you think this could be a sign?

It's a sign of being gravid like your having a high temperature is a sign of having the flu... it doesn't mean you have the flu (might be something else). However, IF she is gravid, she will most likely choose to not feed. Other signs to watch for include resting with belly facing up (inverted), spending more time on the warmer side of the enclosure than usual, increase girth on the posterior half of the body (not always obvious). Another sign is your female being kind of 'touchy' or 'jumpy' or even downright aggressive. And, of course, laying eggs
