    getting impatient--60 days today...`
    the 6 eggs have been in the incubator at 87 for the last 60 days. 1 egg is still big and fat and bright white the other 5 are now off white and starting to dent. The humidity is about 80% so I am wondering should I slit them at this point and have a peek? This is my first go with incubated eggs and Ball Pythons so I was hoping for some opinions from others on their first time experiences.
    Thanks

    That's ok

    I incubate my clutchs between 87ºF - 88.5ºF.

    I prefer 95% - 100% humidity inside the incubation tub.

    Generally, my babies cut the eggs between days 54 - 62.

    Good luck

    link them from your photobucket account ( just need to make sure that the photos are viewable to the public. ) I do this to save on the server load in case I post pics else were. PLus i can take then down whenI update them or remove said pics , I never keep pics of snakes I adopted out,traded or sold once they done cause I know i will kick myself later on after doing so and looking back.

    I cut mine on like day 55 and watch them every day also I nipped a little more from each egg as the veind finish falling away so they have a big visible hole to go out of and not get stuck cause they made it too small, I had one that almost choked itself cause it tried to pull back in and the hole was actually too small for it. imagane tryingot cut a a arger hole in a egg with a trashing snake in it ( end up cutting a larger ring out then worked on getting close to the snake after it calmed down. They will can can bite while in hatching lol and it does not tickle lol.. but hey all bites are miner compare to cat straches.:D
