    Day 50. How should my eggs be looking?
    I have seen many threads about the eggs being somewhat dented by this time, and mine are (at least yesterday they were) still very plump. I'm just wondering if this is what they should be like now. This is my first ball clutch, so I'm really anxious :snake:

    In the incubator as they have been for all 50 days, except for when I take them out every few days and change the Press n' Seal:

    They all look good and have veins.

    They don't always dent before hatching. My clutch from last year started pipping on day 55 without showing any noticeable denting.

    Yes some eggs didn't dent, dimple or even collapsed. Btw where is the cover of your egg box? Did you use only press n seal?

    Ok, great. Thanks for allaying my fears!

    Yes, only Press n' Seal, the lids were very loose, and once the Press n' Seal was on they didn't seem to serve any purpose. Is there a problem with this?

    I don't know, because I used press n seal together with lid or cover, but as long the temperature and humidity is right, I think no need to be worried.
