Are they gravid?

I have been on here for a little while to help with my chams, you guys are very helpful! I have two female veileds, one male veiled and a male panther. These are my first females, and I really need help if she is gravid. She does not seem to be interested in the laying bin that I have in her cage. I have a mixture of eco earth and reptisand for her to lay, and even have dug a hole in hopes that she will possibly use it. I got her from someone a couple weeks ago, and have no idea if she is gravid or not, I find her on the floor every morning, but never see signs of scratching from her. First two pictures are of the female that I am more worried about. The second two are of the other female, she wasn't too happy with me. :p HELP!

They do look a little larger. If she will let you I would palpate her belly and see if you can feel any jelly beans inside her.

Also if you want, you could show your male to them and see how they react. You will usually know pretty quickly if she is gravid because of her color change and pure aggression towards the male.
 
I do not feel anything in their stomachs, and they seem to not care about the male. They also grew up with him around. I will keep a look out for signs. Thank you
 
They do look plump, but feeling for eggs is not a sure way to tell.

Best option is to keep a lay bin in their cages at all times, should they feel the need to lay,
