Hey all, first time post-er, long time lurker here! I have a female I had thought was gravid but she should have laid by now and it's making me wonder if what I had been feeling as 4 distinct egg shaped bumps might not be anything at all or what's keeping her from laying.. She would officially be 45 days POS there's not a ton of info out there so I was hoping maybe some folks in this forum could help answer a couple questions. Is the time from POS to egg laying typically 30 days or is it possibly longer in this species? I'm still feeling the eggs pretty high up from the cloaca (roughly the last "egg" in line feels to be about 4" up). I can't feel any of the "eggs" touching or see any indication to this she is egg bound. Is there anything I can do to help her along if she should in fact be laying by now?
Top is both parents male is 6.6 lb female is 16.4 lb bottom left was what I perceived as ovulation and bottom right was one of 4 confirmed locks

This was about a month ago when I was thinking she would lay any day:
