My female RES has some flesh spillage in front of her hind legs. She hasn't been eating regularly but the bulging has been getting more noticable. Also, she spends A LOT of time basking. I've seen the male do the dance to her, so I guess it's possible. I haven't had them for very long so I don't know if this is normal behavior for her or not. I tried to feel her for eggs but she's very shy about being touched there and I don't want to hurt her by accident. xD So does anyone have a PICTURE of a pregnant RES I can compare to? I tried to google for one but all I get are 2 headed babies and porn for some reason.

you basicaly have 2 options...
"convince" her to let you feel her belly
take her to a vet and x-ray her

You probably won't be able to visually conclude she's gravid. When I wanted to feel for eggs, I would let my turtle walk around the floor and when she stopped, I go in to feel for it.

Yea your turtle is probably just chubby. You shouldnt see any difference. I cant tell any difference before or after when my turtles lay eggs. Just in weight when i pick them up.
