If you should happen to catch her laying eggs and you aren't sure if she's finished, just look at her body. Especially in females that are dropping their first or second clutch, the part where the eggs were but are no more, will appear completely deflated, much like a squeezed out tube of toothpaste. If there are still more to be deposited, that end of her body near the vent will still appear full and round. As they tend to deposit in the center of the coil you can usually see the tail section because she will drape it over herself into the middle. When she's all done that is when it is often tucked under and hard to see.
Just remember, 27 days is typical but not set in stone. I had a girl ovulate, do a pre-lay shed, go about 30 days and go into a second shed before she finally laid. Just watch for a day when she is twisted up like a knot because it will likely be the day before she deposits and she will be pushing the eggs down in position towards her vent. Best of luck.
