Ok, ill try to get a better lamp that I can elevate more. No mirror and I removed a picture that I thought she might be seeing herself in. Really not sure she really doesn't look gravid to me and she just laid 2 months ago.
Could anything in her enclosure really piss her off this bad?

and is this enclosure a new one for her?

No and she has been ok for a few weeks now , a bit darker in coloration,, but no aggressive colors until about 5 days ago
hmmm interesting... How do these colors compare to her gravid colors? I am wondering if she isn't getting close to laying again.

She is 2 months older now, but definitely wasn't showing these colors before she laid last time, and I haven't seen her exploring the bottom of the cage like she was when she laid last time, im also new to the whole thing, just watching her as close as I can( from a distance that is).
It would be interesting to see how soon she lays again. I have no hands on experience with females. from what I have seen within the forum they do show different patterns etc compared to each other but the keepers seem to learn what theirs specifically mean. This is the same for my boys. I have learned by how they are actually responding what indicates what. But my boys all display very differently from one to the other.

What your saying does make sense, fortunately I was able to have the right set up for her to lay successfully last time, hard to believe she is starting to produce again!? But who knows, I just worry about the colors indicating stress, and it worries me to think she could be stressed like that all day long, which could kill her no? Or at least be really bad for her health, I have another picture where it shows her not all puffed up and you may be able to tell if she is showing signs of being gravid.

Yeah I am not seeing any sign of eggs there... But besides the spotted color she also is not showing typical stress signs either. Tail is not doing a full curl, no prayer pose, and no gular puffing. It may be she is not as content in the enclosure... It may be that she is just fine. Depending on her age it may be more mature coloring. Or you may have a red shirt hanging on something that she is offended by lol
I just did this for someone else... But it may help you as well
bright and vibrant are typically stress, anger, fear, dominance display.

Each of mine have similar stress, anger, fear, dominance displays but each of them show it differently in their patterns. The key is the color if they go bright, puffing the gular and putting the front arm up into a prayer pose this is always defensive.
