Help is my ball python Gravid!. I paired her on December 24th she had a shed on January 23rd. She hasn’t been showing any signs of nesting or belly up. She has been staying on her hot side and has definitely gotten fatter. Her last meal was about a week and a half ago. Her next feeding is in 3 days.

Have you recorded an ovulation? How is her appetite (last time she ate)? Edit nevermind I missed the feeding you put in the description 
still waking up lol. Considering she ate so recently I’d say its not quite time yet, they usually go off food after ovulation and almost certainly will not accept food in the weeks to days approaching egg laying.
While it is possible, I’ve had an ovy after just one pairing, its not that common for so few locks to make it work… its also a bit hard to tell since she is curled up over her lower 3rd of the body.
Try to get a photo of her a bit more stretched out, she does look chunky but this doesn’t 100% mean she is gravid.

I agree with cmsreptiles, if she’s still eating she is likely not gravid. I’ve only ever had one female keep eating up to when she laid, all of my other females go off food months prior to even ovulating. Based on this picture she doesn’t look ballooned or swollen in a way that would make me think she’s gravid, just a little chunky.
