From what I know coastals dont really start breeding til late june and her going off her food is normal. And you really wont know if shes gravid until she has laid the eggs or starts getting fat and you know you havent fed her. But thats what I know and im sure someone will correct me.

There is no definate way to say without x-raying her. How old is she? And how big? Did you see copulation between the two and have you seen her ovulate?
If she has just shed i would say be prepared to get eggs, but i think it may be a little late in your season. Most breeders in your area are having their eggs hatching about now. But like i said no real way only indicators that give you hints. Just be prepared.

If you are not experienced or confident with palpating her or know of someone you trust who is? then take her and get an ultrasound, that way you wont get caught with your pants down.

Just wait and see and be prepared.

Does she look swollen in appearance? Watch her behaviour, is she lying more on her side with her belly facing the heat lamp, does her skin look stretched, etc etc?

That's when the egg folicles move down the body of the snake. It last about a day and looks like the hugest food lump you have ever seen.
This is a pic of when my bredli ovulated.
