Anyone have any data on how long their eggs incubate as I've got 2 giant 3 foot gals ready to lay.

My recollection jives with Archie's. A month or less, and fairly variable for the genus. I think the taxonomy is a bit of a mess which may add to the reported variability.
Maybe the guy who posted quite a bit about his (gorgeous ones) will chime in - I think he was breeding them.
Here's a link to an abstract about the Okinawan one, by far the most well-known (and which some say may actually better "fit" in Protobothrops...). It has a blurb about incubation times:
