This is how gravid Womas act...

Your female could be ovulating now, keep her in with her mate unless he shows absolutely no interest in her. Keep trying to feed her, but provide smaller meals than she would normally eat. If she doesnt eat and the male stops breeding her, theres a good chance shes carrying eggs. Get your incubator warmed up...

Yes, that was a clutch that she laid in April. Heres a pic of some offspring I held back.

She hasn't eaten in a month, but seems to be getting fatter, the male doesn't show interest anymore.

I saw your photo above. Do you let them self incubate?

If she is refusing food, looking tight in the rear 2/3 of her body, skin showing between scales etc... and the male is ignoring her, chances are good you will be getting some eggs IMO.
Look for a shed in the middle of March, she will lay her eggs about 20 + days later in the beginning of april, or somwhere within this time frame. If she sheds in the next month or so, I would start counting the days and get everything set up.

Good luck
