are our eggs OK ???

This is our first time letting our little ones breed. We have 3 high yellow and one albino. We have been getting eggs consistantly since March 12th. and are up to 12 so far. The females were all between 65g. and 71g's. before mating and the male was 74g. We have the eggs in a Hovorbater at 80* in vermiculite. We followed Albey's directions from the web-site carefully.(Thank you Albey for making it idiot-proof!) The first set was infertile. They were bright white when candled. The eggs since then are fertile. Or so we thought. They have a pink glow and good shape. We dont get a "great" look as there is dirt from the lay box, we never wiped it off. It has been 63 days and nothing yet. Did we do something wrong or is it just not time yet??? I have info that says 53-57 days for incubation. Are these OK or did we screw up???

they can go long leave them in.

the 53 - 57 is the average

It’s going to take a little longer because you’re incubating at 80˚. The warmer the temps the faster the embryo develops. I incubate females at 81-82 and they hatch at about 60 days. Just give them more time, they will hatch soon. Good luck!

yeah I incubate at 80 and I had some that are marked 3/17 - 3/21 that are not hatched yet, I did have a 3/20 pair hatch late last week. THey just need a little more time.

I'll definately keep them cooking! Hopefully the next post will be pictures of some sweet...and long awaited...babies!
