Eggs are REALLY tough and dry... should I be cutting them?
Question in the title- due to initial humidity problems and a bunch of other problems, for whatever reason the clutch of eggs turned out SUPER tough exterior, and extremely caved in... Like the deep wrinkles won't un-wrinkle or budge at all when I push at it, they are "dried up" in that position... it's hard to explain. The eggs are still white though. When candled last week, they all have veins.
The eggs were incubated at a range of 87-89, but mostly stayed at around 88. I finally got a c-serpents incubator about last Friday and had it set up and put them in. The DIY incubator I had with an RHP just did not work as I expected, the RHP seeming to wick all moisture away from the top of the eggs even though the humidity says 99%.
The eggs also are very stuck together, and won't separate when I try to pull them apart.
It's currently day 51... Would you cut and on what day? I just can't see baby snakes able to pip this exterior but maybe I'm wrong
