It normally takes around 30 days for them to lay after breeding. Keep the sand in the laying bin the correct moisture so that it will hold a tunnel and not cave in on her. I normally dig a start hole for my girls and they often use it. Be sure to give her plenty of privacy. The very best of luck with her.
