Well, if shes hiding away, there a good chance shell be having her babies fairly soon. Keep on the lookout for babies.

Just because she's hiding out, doesn't mean it's soon. It usually does, but there are other possible reasons such as aggression and disease. Anyway, to answer your question, about a month. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, depending on the age, and size of the female, and how big the batch is.

How dark does the gravid spot? The darker it is, the closer she is i think.
