Taken from Dr. Sewards DVD:"Egg laying usually occurs 51 days after Ovulation----and 30 days after the Pre-egg shed"

Ovulation to shed is anywhere from 10-18 days
Shed to eggs is 25-36 days with most averaging 28 days
IMHO it's a little early to have females ovulating. I does happen and a couple people already have eggs incubating, however, most ovulations happen in the spring from March-May. Are you sure you witnessed ovulation? If you aren't sure put your male back in with your female.

There is no mistaking it, shes is huge and miserable. Skinny tail, hugging water dish, laying inverted (last week). All the signs are there. Im new to snake breeding, so I'm trying to perdict when eggs will be here. Its already been 30 days since her last shed, so I don't know whats going on.

All of my females are hugging bowls and some laying inverted (including males). If you are new to reptiles, how do you know what a skinny tail looks like? 
I would keep your males in and keep watching.
