Is my Leopard Gecko Egg Bound?? Help..

I have a 50 gram female Leopard gecko. She is preggersand this is her very first eggs. She dug in her lay box and stayed in there for about 8 to 10 hours. Then she climbed out and really had not gone back that Ive noticed. The hole is still dug in the vermiculite and she is definately still preggers. Its been almost 2 days since she finished diggine the hole down to the bottom of the lay box. When should I begin to worry about her

A lot of time, leopard geckos will dig quite a bit in the week or days leading up to egg laying. It sounds like she's getting ready to lay those eggs pretty soon. The average amount of time a female is gravid for is approx. 3-5 weeks. If she's not showing any true signs of distress (and it doesn't sound like she is) I would just let her be. Don't be going in there, or touching her, picking her up, or anything like that. She'll probably do fine.

I've got a crested who's been digging for about 5 days now. It's the norm for her; she'll be fine. When they're eggbound, they spend their time trying to push the eggs out, and looking pretty stressed.
