In a word... SHORTLY. From the time I notice it can be anywhere from 3-4 weeks. It's always within a week or week and a half when I can actually see the eggs inside her. I'm assuming you have a humid hide, so if you don't have one, get one. My females will dig out the majority of the vermiculite in all the hides when she is one or two days out. They also stop eating 2-3 days before laying, and usually she won't leave the hides a few days before. You'll know when she lays because she will be noticbly thinner right before the back legs. If you weigh your leos, you'll also notice a drop in weight of about 6-10 grams (less if it's her first clutch). Hope this helps!
