Does she crave pickles and ice cream?

Jack, Can you get some clear photos?

photos will definitely help...the last third of the body in front of the cloaca will be fat....

Is my Garter a female? I don't know... Is she(?) also gravid or just too well fed?
Please see the attached pictures.
Thanks, everyone for all your help and patience with all my questions!
