Veiled eggs can hatch from 3 months to a year... much depends on the temperature incubated; moisture/humidity in the incubation; nutrition of the female before laying the eggs; etc.
I would say the average time for incubation (68 to 75 degrees F) is 8 months. Some keepers raise the temperature to get the eggs to hatch sooner - but we have found that this leads to weaker babies and higher losses during their first 4 months of life.
Hope this helps,
