Re: Gravid?
Do you know if she's ovulating? And whether or not copulation has occurred?
If she's not ovulating, she won't get gravid until she ovulates.
If she's ovulating, and copulation occurred, then it should be around 4 weeks or so for the first clutch, then 2-3 weeks each clutch after that. It can be shorter or longer, depending on the female. Some first time breeders take longer. I've had one lay within 2 weeks of copulation, so it depends on the female, and depends on how far along the egg follicles are inside her.
