It's not mate, it is a fact, though if it makes you feel better it does look like the snake in the pic is gravid

if she is gravid DO NOT feed her, most pythons wont eat once gravid but the odd one will and can be very dangerous as they can get egg bound and worst case you will lose her and all the eggs.
Have a look at her vental and if it is noticably curving outwards instead of the normal flatness you can almost be certain she is gravid. her scales will start to seperate down the last third of her body as well especaily after pe-lay.
