compared to my younger ones, she definately looks much bigger in the belly (and different to if mine have had a big feed)... i would say that she is (in my in-experienced opinion) GOODLUCK !

come on guys someone must have an idea
i have 6 of these s. ciliarus 4 of which are females , one of those laid two eggs for me on Sunday morning, they dont have the obvious huge bulge that a thicktail does, as their eggs are quite small but if you look you can see they look quite round around their lower middle. I think i have one more gravid and she looks very similar to your female. They will shed just before they lay.Mine shed that morning only maybe an hour or so before she laid.

If she is is gravid its still in the early stages, although its hard to tell in those pics, try taking a pic from directly above

What makes me say she is only in the early stages?, cos she doesnt look that big compared to mine in the last week before they lay (it only take 3 weeks for them to develop before laying)
