I don't know.
I think 30 to 40 days.
My female hasn't laid yet, male was introduced on Friday before Easter so copulation could have happened anytime since then, I witnessed it on the 16th.
This is her today - I think she's gravid, but if she hasn't laid by the 31st the male goes back in.
You can see she's been digging by the stuff on her back

I thought mine is gavid too but you think both of mine in one of the other post that they are both females. I did find one about 2-3 weeks ago. They do act kind of strange if they are both females because one is always on top of the other one and the one on top is the one I think is the male.
I will take pictures again and post tonight.
