They dont get pregnant. They just store alot of eggs when they are ready to breed. Then the males will turn a vibrant red and fertilize the eggs.

So is it possible she is full of eggs? Because her stomach is a lot bigger than it was a couple weeks ago??

Yeah its possible. I also know that you need marbles. That would be to protect the eggs.
