Is she gravid?

[TheBriMan23]

I recently got a female Jackson's. She has been looking a little chunky and i was wondering if she looked gravid to you guys? This would be my first time dealing with young ones so all help would be appreciated.

Any help at all?

Hard to tell with the pics you posted. I don't see any out of the ordinary bulges. Have you seen her digging at a corner? Or naturally Ben hanging out at the bottom of the enclosure?

She does look a little plump.

If she is gravid, you shouldn't see her dig or hang out in the bottom of the enclosure.

Exactly what ataraxia said, she won't be digging. Jacksons are live bearers, so if she does have babies in there she is 'pregnant', not 'gravid'.

There is not much that you can do to help her give birth, but if she is pregnant then this video might help you with the babies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKTbUaOQ0aA
