    I'm not seeing the two boob eggs? I think I see one, but it doesn't look so bad to me. Do they all candle with good veins? Most of what I've read says boob eggs do just fine, so as long as they candle well and seem in good shape I wouldn't worry so much.

    Thank you for your response. Before putting them into the incubator, I candled it and saw veins on it. This is my first time so your help is much appreciated.

    That doesn't look that bad. I've seen people hatch snake out of boob eggs that look like this:



    Like Diaga said, if it's got good veins, you're probably golden, no special care or adjustment required.

    Since this Is my first time in incubating eggs, I don't know yet if the eggs are still in good condition. I observed after a week in the incubator, the eggs has dimpled a bit. Like this [IMG][IMG]

    They look fine. They will dimple a bit. If you notice the dimples getting deeper then it is likely that your humidity is too low. Aim for 100% RH.
