it all depends on your incubation time if its hotter the eggs will hatch faster and mainly produce males if its cooler they take longer but youll produce females as for gestation i cant quite remeber right now but its not very long the only issue with geckos is that they produce 2 eggs in a clutch and mine only gave me 3 clutches last year

Once breeding the female can hold the sperm and Continue to lay Fertile eggs.Make sure Females are 50 grams before breeding and males are 40 grams. you can tell if the female is ready by flipping her over and pressing on her back. you should see to your upper left a pink dot and lower right another one. (First time breeders will NOT have a good season) out of all my newest females this season they gave me all fertile eggs All died...only 3 hatched. So keep in mind the first time you try this don’t get your hopes up. After breeding it takes around 3 weeks or longer to lay eggs, She will keep laying eggs every few weeks. Keep checking her belly you can see the eggs growing.. Keep a lay box in there (F 80-82) < pretty much females *Around 60 days* However (F 87 to 90) < Males can take 35+ days. Hope it helps!
