Thank you all for the responses to clarify my male and female were cooled for 30 days and introduced in late October. I know this is a bit earlier than is typical I'm a first time breeder and admittedly kind of got confused with all the dates and when to start. I was able to visibly confirm 4 locks and the male was removed after she shed on December 12TH which I believe was her pre-lay shed based on when ovulation occurred. She is officially on day 42 after her pre-lay shed but has not laid her eggs. I'm wondering at what point I should intervene to help get her moving along (laying). When I palpate the eggs are close to each other in her belly but there seems to be a small fingers worth of space between each egg.
