First time breeding, could this be an ovulation?

[Texaspythons]

Hello, this is my first time posting. I have a large pastel female that I have bred a few times. She was bowl wrapping and cool seeing so I threw my male in there and she's locked 3 times since May. She did shed shortly after the first lock, but I never noticed any large swelling.

For the last couple weeks she's been looking very uncomfortable and laying more on her side. She's been splitting her time between the cool side and hot side, and the last few days has definitely been looking lumpy. She hasn't eaten since late March.





This morning, she looks to be a bit swollen about 2/3 down her body and definitely has a more blueish hue like she could be coming into shed soon. Could this be ovulation? Or maybe she's heading in that direction?

My assumption would be a preovy swell, or that she’s still building. She doesn’t quite look like she’s ovulating.
You’ll know when the ovulation is occurring, she’ll look huge!
This is my first year breeding too, so I’ll show some examples of what I’ve experienced with my snakes:

Here’s another couple ovulations:
