How do I tell if she is gravid?

My Honduran female started breeding in January. She bred until about a week before her last shed, which was 3-13. There has been no copulatory action since that shed. She doesn't seem to be getting any bigger. She is dark a lot, but she also seems to prefer the cool side (about 80F). Today, she is light.

So my question is, if 3-13 was POS (I didn't see ovulation though), would she be getting girthier? If not, would she still ovulate even though there is no action from the male? I'm not sure whether or not to expect babies at this point. Is there any other way to determine if she is gravid?

Thanks

Nick
