How long till eggs?

[Adam_Wysocki]

I whitnessed my first lock the other day (pics on the way), and i'm just curious how long after (if it was successful) I can expect to see eggs. What's generally the time frame between lock and eggs, and then eggs till hatch?

A lock is not enough info to predict a time til laying ... could be 2 months, could be 9 months ... depends on too many variables ... temp cycles, females stage of follicular development, fertility of the male, etc.

Keep pairing them until they don't lock anymore ... watch the female for odd behavior ... if she's going to lay eggs, at some point she'll ovulate and swell up like a balloon for 24 hours ... 45 days after that (give or take) you'll get eggs ... 54 - 62 days after that (give or take) the eggs will hatch if incubated under the correct conditions.

Congrats on the lock Jam Man!!!!!
