does she look gravid?

[jwolfe152]

Maybe a closer pic of her scales where she should be holding them would help...to see if there is any spreading of the scales? Other than that i have no idea how to tell if a snake is gravid or not

I'm playing the ol' "Is she gravid!?" game myself right now... does anyone have pics (or a link to a thread with pics) of the scale 'spread'? Is it better to look for it on the lateral sides of the female? With my corns, it is much easier to tell (because of the eggs and all). With this girl, I was still hoping to be able to tell from the ventral scales... flat usually, but bulbing out toward the bottom (she seems to have that... but its not like I was looking at those scales when I DIDN'T think she was gravid, so I don't have much of a comparison!).
