Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I have Good News And Bad News
The Good news is, I got my first hatchling. The bad news is It is not alive.
It's a few days past the eggs due date. The other day, one of the eggs began to cave in. I thought is was going bad and infertile just like the others that did the same thing turned out to be. But I gave it a couple days and watched it carefully just incase. So Today I decided that the egg must be infertile and I was about to toss it. But i Decided to cut it open before doing so just to see. I only expected to find mush like I have in the past. But I found a fully formed decesed little baby. The other egg from that clutch is not caved in or moldy but it is about 5 days past the due date. I am keeping my hopes up that This one will make it. Any Ideas as to what went wrong?

This has been my problem all season so far. I have lost about 12 eggs from 2 females. I am trying vermiculite instead of perlite now. I hope this works. It really sucks when you see how close to hatching something is and you lose it. Good luck to you.

OH Brandy, I'm so sorry. Sometimes first timer eggs just don't do all that well. I'm sure some of the other eggs will produce a nice hatchling for you.

So far I am 25 out of 26 eggs. The one egg was infertile. The majority of my breeders are first years with the exception of two. I use Albeys incubation method and a homemade incubator with a Helix control. The important things are heat, humidity, and consistency. Also are you keeping up with your breeders suplements?

I give calcium everyday to breeding females and vitamins once a week.
Still waiting for the clutchmate to hatch...how often do eggs still end up hatching when they are past there due date?
Thanks,
Brandy

I have been incubating at 83 and have had between 46 and 58 days. Normally the early ones come from one female but I had one beat her sister out by a week. If the eggs still look good leave them be.
Whats your temp, and how many days has it been?
PS 27 for 28 lol

Our first this year hatched out at 72 days almost 10 days after we expected her to. I didn't have any hope that she'd hatch, but she fooled us!
