I can't "feel" eggs, is she gravid?

How can you tell if a cornsnake is gravid? The amel I posted in the photo section recently seems very large in the hind end. She has a little of a round to her belly rather that the squared off look. I really don't feel eggs, but she is strong in the rear section. If I go to touch her belly, she kind of toughens up. Not sure if what I feel are eggs or what and I don't feel much when she runs over my fingers. Maybe I just don't know what I'm feeling for. It's an unsexed snake and to my inexperienced eyes, looks like a male, but she has been in the cage with another male, and because of the large weight gain, I'm beginning to think it's a female. What do yuo think? Pregnant female? How can I be sure? When should I add the egg box for this snake? With my other snake who recently had eggs, I never knew she was gravid.
