How long until the eggs start showing after copulation for leopard geckos

[sammer021486]

I have never read on all the breeding forms I have been to, when the eggs will begin show after the geckos have mated. 

There is the information that a female will lay eggs every 3 weeks or so, but nothing on when the eggs begin to develop after the geckos have mated.  Just that you can see the female get larger and see the eggs in her abdominal region. 

Is it the same time frame as it takes for her to lay a new pair of eggs after she has laid her first clutch (3 or so weeks) or is it short or longer than the 3 weeks or so?

I am curious because I plan to breed my female at the end of this month and this is my first time breeding and hers.

I did find reference to 30 days after the geckos have mated that the female will lay her first clutch.  Can anyone confirm this?

That sounds about right.  I had one female lay at 17 days after introducing the male last year.

Alright sounds good.
