    Day 47 egg pics and question

    So these are my eggs on day 47.



    I've candled them and seen movement in all of them but I'm curious if they are supposed to be so wrinkled? They have been kept in a 6qt shoe box with a snap on lid. No cling wrap. Half buried in vermiculite at a steady 89 degrees. I've added some squirts of water to the vermiculite a few times to keep the humidity up. My crappy humidity meter has read 80 or 90 the whole time.

    It's my first year so I wana make sure everything is ok. Like I asked before, are they supposed to be so wrinkled, and if not, what should my next move be. Thanks.

    I've never had a clutch, but I am fairly certain they are supposed to dimple around the last week.

    Not sure how much or exactly when though.

    I have a clutch on day 50 that looks just like that - you're fine.

    Cool. Thanks! I guess I'm just a worrier. That's why my friends call me whiskers.

    They look pretty normal to me considering how far along they are.
