Gravid Female?

[lucmyers]

I have a 6 month old nosy be... Lately I have notice she is hanging out more frequently in the lower parts of her cage... not getting on the ground but close to it on the lowest branches available, which is a few inches off the ground. However from my understanding if she is gravid shed be pacing on the ground back and forth, she'd not be eating (which she is) and she'd turn to a darker color. Is she just curious and climbing around her cage or am i misinformed and she probably is gravid?
Any advice is greatly appreciated

I know she hasn't been bred because she is only 6 months of age, but even if she has an infertile clutch, it should be fairly apparent just in regards to body habitus. Could you post a pic of her? She more than likely is just thermoregulating.

I find with mine when they turn colors could mean they're receptive. I have some mean ones and when they get receptive they turn a darker color also happens when they R gravid. They eat all the way up till they're ready. Mine are usually about 2 days and then they stop eating and drinking more. That's just what I've noticed with my own. You should get a lot more advice from other people. Hope this helps

Is there anyway you could get a pic of her from above, or even just from the back? I don't see a gravid female when I look at her, but I would still like to see the pics from the requested views before I stamp that with a 100%.

Sorry for the late response... I honestly kept reading and I didnt think she was gravid. However yesterday I saw her on the bottom of the cage so I put a laying bin... what do you think? gravid or not

Yup she is

Yes.....absolutely gravid.

So sorry to be annoying but she has yet to lay eggs... Ive had a laying bin in the cage and she hasn't even touched it... in your opinion do these her colors in these photos look like receptive colors? could she not quite yet be ready to lay or should I be concerned that it hasn't happened yet

she also appears to still be eating if that makes any difference
