Fat Sandsnake

My adult femal Kenyan Sand boa is getting FAT.. She just had a large litter 3 months ago, and has more than rebounded since then. She almost looks gravid again. I have been pelting her with food, and she eats all the mice I offer her. I was once told that overfeeding erycines is a good way to kill them as their metabolism is slow. Since this girl is in a sweaterbox, I'm afraid that she is getting obese, even though she seems very allert and healthy. How can I tell if a sand boa is obese, or gravid, without x-raying her as that'll cause stress both to her, and to my wallet.
Thanks
