When you said "She shed later that month and just shedded again a couple of weeks ago" - when exactly was the first time she shed? If it was back in March and you are counting that as her post ovulation shed, then I would say she is either gravid and going to give birth any day now or she is not gravid at all.
If that was not her post ovulation shed and you are thinking that the most recent shed is, then of course you would want to start counting from there. If you don't check on them regularly, you very well could have missed her ovulation.
How big is she? We have some really big females that are difficult to tell if they are gravid or not because they are so big. However, these girls are all in the 8 1/2 to 9 feet long range. Does she look swollen or lumpy at all? Depending on if she is gravid or not and if so, how far along she is, the last 1/3 of her body should be at least slightly larger looking than usual.
I hope this help. Good luck with her!
Thanks,
Celia
