mine just berried the other day! i am very pleased with my marmorkreb. if you are thinking about buying one than take my advice STOP thinking, and just buy it.
 
Bout two weeks it seems like, it's kind of hard to tell because once berried they tend to hide unless it is very dark, making them rather hard to see.
If you can find a stat for misc. american crayfish it's probably applicable, as these appear to be a hybrid between the two main american species (so says Humboldt University in Berlin, the only scientist type people to study them at all).
 
i love my cray. but im mad at her cuz she comitted abortion and ate her eggs.
 
They seem to do that if the eggs die or start having issues, common causes are being moved from one tank to another without a very slow acclimation, or having a large water change after not having any changes for a while. The osmotic pressure change and/or temp change seems to cause issues.
I have no firm results on this, just guesses.

In any case, she should have more eggs soon.
