it takes about a month for the leo to lay if it is gravid if it has been more than a month and she was gravid then yeah there is a possibility she could be eggbound

Make sure that she has access to a moist hide she can deposit her eggs in. Female leos often like a sbstrate like moistened bed-a-beast that they can dig in. Make sure she also has access to a dish of calcium powder. As long as she's eating don't worry. If she goes off food for over a week then worry (it is normal for some females to stop eating or eat less the week before they lay).
