Do you have a nest box in the cage, if not get one asap as they will prob lay at least another 2.
If it's in a nest box make sure you feed them a good balanced diet. The rest is pretty much up to them to sort out. In about 30 days the first egg should hatch. And they should lay every 2nd day normally

Well then yeah expect another egg 2 days after the first, they can have up to 6 at 2 day spacings. The first will hatch 24 - 26 days after the female starts sitting which is normally after the second egg is layed. Make sure you are feeding a balanced diet as the females body is under allot of strain during egg production. Some people also recommend calcium addictive during breeding. Not sure on that though, make sure there is a cuttlefish bone available. My female would not touch cuttlefish bone till she was breeding then she was at it all the time. Other wise enjoy, it's very egg-citing when the are breeding.
