Going to have a late season!!!

I have so many questions but the most important, how long does it usually take from the first confirmed lock to when they finally lay eggs?

It seems like it will probably take about four months, since he started pairing his albino in November and she's only just laid her eggs.

One thing I would like to do is to build my own incubator so I can have her and the eggs at my own house and go through the whole process.

First, congratulations.

Now, breeding a female and seeing locks does not guarantee eggs. Does she even have follicles yet?

Four months is exceptionally short. Ive had everything from 4.5 months to 12, and thats just the girls that go that year. You really cant start counting on anything until ovulation. An ovy is the only time you can count on getting something (whether it be eggs or slugs).

If I were you I would leave her at your friends house. You want a gravid females life to be as low stress as possible. Moving her back to your house would seem tempting, but you might end up with more slugs from stress or her not going at all.
