Default Egg signs

Hi all,

How do I know if my female horsfield is expecting?

She's looking a bit swollen around her bottom area and seems to put on a bit of weight quickly, its probably is a growth spurt as shes only 4 but she has been getting a lot of attention of her brother thanks, Abee

Shes about 4 inches long so still quite small, I'm just concered the amount of 'activity ' which has been going on lately that she maybe carrying, or, if she isn't now, what to look for in the future

Not big enough to lay eggs, so she's not carrying eggs. She needs to be 6 inches SCL before she can lay eggs.
