Pregnant or just fatty boom boom

I’ve had hissers for five years and theyve never had any issue for breeding however I bought 4 hissers (three female and one male) as I wanted to add a different line to my current colony. I’ve never spent so much time wondering if my hissers were pregnant but all 3 new females do look quite plump and have little to no activity. I bought them end of January and it’s now March. I was thinking they may be pregnant and have since separated them to get an accurate count but still no babies. I read somewhere it can take a good 90 days. Which should line up with the end of this month. They’re located in my office where they get normal day/night cycles and it’s the warmest room in the house. Just curious if because I bought them at an exotics event if they were just overly fat for food.

She is looking awful thick.
If she was in with a male, it's highly likely.
Only time will tell. Good luck. Hope you get a whopping litter.

Some slightly moist substrate will help her in the process.

She’s definitely the largest one but I’m definitely anticipating some babies SOON. This is about as stressful as waiting to have my own kids.

Thank you! They’ve been kind of dry in there since we have a dehumidifier going in the house but I’ll try keeping it a little more moist in there.
