  1. 2-4 days


  2. They will start laying at about 6 months of age under proper lighting (more than 10-12 hours per day) otherwise you will need to wait until spring.  They tend to lay their eggs in the morning, sometimes daily, sometimes they skip a day (each individual is a little different).  They aren't particular about where they lay their eggs so if you contain them until morning, you can usually find their eggs pretty easily.
