How long between shed and laying?

Long story short, I bought a retired breeder this summer but it looks like she wants to lay a second clutch of eggs. She refused food 3 weeks straight and she also shed, and the breeder says she was always a good eater. It's been 13 days since her shed and I made her a next box which she explored but hasn't stayed in. What's the upper limit of days between shed and laying, if she is going to lay?
 
Well, I miscounted the days, today is day 12 and she's sitting in the next box with a vacant look. :D. Good thing I will be at work and resisting the urge to bug her every 25 seconds!
 
Yes, I think she was bred to a hypo cinder or something? There may or may not be viable eggs if she lays, they could be slugs. We'll see...
 
She's wrapped pretty tightly around them and I don't want to move her, but of the ones I can touch only one feels hard and white. I just told Gary it looks like it has a palmetto inside. ;) lol
 
Final count was 10 slugs and one egg. Didn't want to buy incubator equipment for one iffy egg, so I set it up in a Tupperware in my fish tank. It stays at 81 so the little fella has somewhat of a chance. I saw some tiny veins when I candled it.
