How much days does it take for a fertilized Solenopsis invvicta Queen to lay eggs,because mine seems to not have layed any eggs after 6 days in a dark cardboard box.

Be patient. It can take several hours to several weeks for a Queen ant to lay eggs. Give it some more time. If it still doesn’t lay eggs I would release it because it might not be fertile.

No, they are claustral.

No it’s fully claustral so you don’t need to feed it.

let it be in no noise, great temperature area.
unwanted stress may delay the egg laying. If the ant still shows no sign of laying after around 1-1.5weeks(after this post) move on and find more ants
