You should be able to see her eggs already if she is indeed pregnant.
2-5 weeks gestation.
Eggs will hatch sooner at high temps (88-89) at those temps mine normally hatch 35-45 days.
At 80-82 mine normally hatched at around 45-60 days, but could be more.
Anywhere inbetween, would put it right in the middle. But never be too sure, eggs can suprise you.

i believe my Beanie laid her eggs about a month after mating...but i never saw the eggs in her stomach before she laid them. the only visible indication that she was gravid was her very large, round belly. i also forget how long it took to have my little Katrina and Pixie to hatch out (60 days?) at an incubation temp of 82 degrees.
