I'm new to all of this too, just had my 2 leos for about 2 months, and I just got a new leucistic leo today actually...just got back from picking her up. I'm not sure much about egg laying, and if they don't eat, but to answer your question about how long they can go, I have had mine go almost 2 weeks. It was my albino, she didn't eat for a long time after we moved her to her new cage, now she eats just fine. So I hope I helpd a little, sorry not to answer the egg question, not experienced enough yet, and don't want to give any wrong answers.

She'll probably come around in a day or two. My Beanie didn't start eating for two days after she laid.

My female eats like a pig the day after laying, but they're all different so i wouldnt worry, like cleopatra said she'll start to eat again in a couple days, which is a good time to fatten her up
