I have a wild caught female. I think that she is a female by identifying her tail structure. Anyway, we have had her a couple of months and I was wondering how to tell if she might be gravid. She is about 19" long and seems to be much fatter than when we found her, but I could just be misremembering. It is my understanding that it is getting late in the season for births, and I want to make sure that I am not doing anything that might make her hold on to her babies, if she has any. I don't know if she was old enough to breed this year based on her size, etc.
