Sure looks like she maybe. How big is she and old? When she did eat last how big of a meal did she take? If she is gravid the shed date means you should get eggs around the 9 of Feb. That's if Burmese are like Bloods.

One of the best way to tell is pick her up and from about half way down her body put your hand. Then let her slowly crawl through your hand. Look and feel for bumps. This can be hard to tell with fatter snake like Burmese. Also when looking at the belly you should noticed it go from flat to rounded about half way down. Also watch for her laying on her side or back and in weird positions. All of this also works for telling if they are producing follicle.

She could be gravid. Why did you choose to breed her so young? I wouldn't advice breeding with any giant under the age of 5, and 6 would even be better.. She isn't even fully grown at 3, and sorry but for being only 11f she looks quite fat with a smallish head.

I would get a incubator and get it set up and check all your temps. This way if she does lay eggs you'll be ready.

Go to a vet for an ultrasound.
