They lay their eggs anywhere from 3 to 20 days after pre-lay.
Are you positive it was a pre-lay shed?
Can you see the eggs?
And yes a lock regardless of the species does not mean eggs.

No I’m not positive, as I said in the first part of the post, the breeder said there might be a chance that she is gravid
I’m not certain how eggs will looks but I’m assuming it’s varies from snake to snake based on length and how fat or skinny it is. Based on the photos I uploaded, can you tell me?

Can't tell from a pic especially when it's not an animal that I know in person.
If gravid you will have some swelling in the mid section , if you hold her head up tail down and look at her profile you will clearly see the eggs if she has had her pre-lay 12 days ago, as the female get closer to laying, you will start seeing the first egg closer to the cloaca.
Did you provide a lay box just in case?

Yup, lay box is in place, incubator is ready to go, just waiting I guess. I’m just worried because I haven’t seen eggs yet..
