Opinions on whether she could be Gravid. Pics included

Hello All,

In Late December, 12/29 to be exact, I had concerns that my then 6.5 mo old Female panther may be Gravid. This is based off of her behavior of cruising around the cage as well as colors she presented (see below).

These would be infertile as she has never been introduced to a male.

I added a laying bin in here cage, she continues to eat and drink well, and shows no signs that she is in distress in any way. She does occasionally cruise around the bottom of the cage but always goes back to her perches.

That being said, she is a fatty for sure and would think that she could have eggs in her, but I would have though by now that she would have laid or be in some stress from being egg bound.

Fast forward to today, 11weeks or so later, and she remains the same.

So, any opinions based off of her color and look woudl be appreciated.

I have no reason to be concerned as to her health, I just need some confirmation as to whether she may or may not be gravid.

Thanks all.
 
She looks a little fat yes. I don't know much about females though so wait until someone else replies. But from the looks of it, maybe she is gravid (fat).
 

Thank you for the link and I have looked over these pics. Clearly in the linked thread the Gravid female is very dark and it is pretty clear. As you can see in my pics, not that dark at all, but hints of it....

So again, she seems somewhere in between!! ;)

I know its not perfect every time, just seeing what consensus might be. She is all set up in the case that she is.

Thank you.
 
Looks like receptive colors, she's not as wide as a late term gravid female would be, and she's still pretty young. I'd go with not currently gravid.
