    Egg Help
    I have an egg that I am a bit concerned about. This year we have had 5 clutches that have hatched well. I am incubating at about 89 degrees and most of the eggs have been pipping at about day 55-58 with no problems. So I have one last egg that didn't pip on time. I decided to cut at day 59. I can see the snake moving inside the egg but it didn't appear to have most of it's coloring and I think it should. I has now been a couple of days and the snake still has not pipped. I still see some movement with the snake so I don't know what is going on. The other eggs in this clutch unfortunately didn't make it so I don't have any other snake to compare it to. Any suggestions on what I should do?

    if you see movement in the egg then i would let him come out when he is ready

    Are sure there are no problems with your thermometer probe (like I had). If you see movement leave him be to cook awhile longer
