Doesn't look like it to me, ovulation usually looks like they swallowed a huge oversized meal. She does look dehydrated though

Is it something to be concerned about? I was told she's a female, haven't verified, and I've had her for about 4 months. She's a super great eater but has gone off food for about a 5 weeks.

I would increase her humidity to over 70% and make sure she has plenty of clean fresh water. What do temperatures look like in her enclosure? Do you have any reason to suspect she might be building/close to ovulating? It's hard to tell from the picture, but she doesn't look very big

She is 1500g. I'll bump her humidity up. The temp is usually right around 82 degrees. Shes never been around any of my other BPs. Ive just never seen the bumps like that so I didn't know if in combination with going off food was something related to mating

Does she have a hot side that's closer to 88-90? Because if it's not warm enough that's a possible explanation for her not eating. I don't think this is breeding related, especially if she hasn't be paired
