i havent had leo's laying yet but i find offering 2 or 3 potential laying areas works for beardies. One in the cool end, one towards the hot end and one right in the corner. Also one of my females doesnt like using lay boxes, she prefers a big mound in the corner, i use a few of her stones to keep it in place.

most of mine start digging and stop eating 2-3 days before they're going to lay.
Just ake sure her hide is humid and let her dig she's trying to find the right spot.
If she's reall that bloated you don't have to turn the humid hide upside doen all the time looking for eggs. It will be obvious she layed when she is thin again

Try and keep movement of the eggs themselves to a minimum and heat constant and you should be ok.

I have had leos look 'fit to burst' for about a week or two before laying, make sure she has a choice of at least two moist hides, I used to take my water bowls out aswell as I lost eggs somtimes with them laying in them.
