how to tell when a corn is gravid

how obvious is it when a female corn is gravid? today i was holding my female (who has been rather hostile, as of late. she rattled her tail at me the other day!) and as she was slinking back into her cage, i thought i felt something like...little gas bubbles is the only way to describe it. i had my index and middle finger open like scissors, and my middle finger was on her belly, and my index finger on her back, and as she passed through it felt like little bubbles.

last year when my boyfriends corns bred, i COMPLETELY missed the stage of the female being gravid (as it was an unplanned "gravidcey" so to speak) another story altogether that i won't really get into. they weren't my snakes. but are now separated. and tra la la please no cohabing lecture cause I KNOW
:P

so the point of this thread, i have never felt a gravid female corn.

also, yes, my female has been paired with a male, though i didn't witness any locks.
