When was her last shed? Typically, if that was her "post-ovulation" shed, she should lay her eggs within about 34-39 days. I think location & climate may have an effect on that as well. Out here in CO, my female 'tics are averaging around 30 days. So just keep an eye on her and watch for her to start "rolling", she'll start actually laying upside down in an effort to warm the the eggs in he body evenly. That's a really good sign! Once she starts doing that, provide her with a nestbox big enough for her to coil up in comfortably, but without too much excess space. The idea is for her to feel secure.
Good luck!
