You could lift up their tales when they are locked and check to see if you see any hemipenes coming out of him into her...

I'd be careful. If you don't know what you are doing you could do some damage. Those are sensitive areas.

If you see the male's tail curled around underneath the females, rather than side-by-side, assume they're locked. They can stay that way for over a full day.

Ok well I seen them "locked" I guess last night but it wasn't that long though so what happens after they do that does it mean I'm gonna have eggs

Re: a weird question
They can stay locked for only an hour or two. If it was only 15 minutes or something, then the male is probably just courting, and they haven't actually locked yet.
It means you will probably get eggs, yes, though not for a while. If you don't have an incubator now, you should get one.
