It is really hard to tell just by how she looks. If you really focus, you can notice the back of her shell is wider then usual. The best way to really know is after she has mated, she will spend alot of time basking and being inactive. She also will eat less then usual, but make sure you encorage her to eat. Using treats like live earth worms and feeder fish helps. She'll also wants to be alone so it is very important you separate the male away from her until she lays the eggs. You should only touch her when you have to. You also need to keep the water very clean and warm. Make 5 inches of soil in the tank's land area so she can lay the eggs. She'll be doing alot of digging and sniffing in the last 2 weeks before she lays the eggs. She'll hold them for about 80 days. She can lay from 2 to 25 eggs!
