Laying the eggs depends on a suitable place for them to lay (and some are very picky) and of course the right weather. As far as I know (I could be wrong) there is no gestation period, as if the conditions are not correct, females will retain the eggs until its the right for them. And retaining eggs from one year to another can cause problems. Although they will retain eggs from late matings when weather is cold, through hibernation until the Spring. I have two females who are eggy and have been since they woke up.
