eggs incubated at 87* day 57

incubating my ball python eggs at 87* and its day 57 there are 5 eggs 1 of then looks nice and plump still(it happens to be at the front of the egg box?) all the others have been deflated for awhile maybe almost 2 weeks lets say 12 days they are sealed containers with press a seal and a lid on im using hatchrite for medium and a proprtional thermostat should i just let them go and wait till one pips to cut ?

If you are that far along, you should probably remove the Press n Seal now. As they get close to pipping there should be a bit more air exchange. Looking forward to some pictures when they go. Good luck with the odds gods.

I have incubated at 89 the past couple years but this year I incubated at closer to 87. When I incubated at 89 I usually had pippers right around day 55. This year at 87 I have had 2 clutches hatch so far, and they didn't start pipping on their own untill day 60. They did start deflating a good bit before that however.

Seems like 60 days is the average for me. Incubate between 87-89 over the past few years. It's hard for me to wait that long.....

Agreed - Somewhere between day 45 and 50 we start doing daily air exchanges until the little ones hatch.

My first Clutch This year I've incubated at average 88 and wait was 60 days.. I even ask on forum Should i cut the eggs???... Most of responses was no and I'm glad i was listening...
all hatched by them self.... with all yolk absorbed.. they shed nicely after few days and then eat firts meal without issues....

PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE :gj::gj::gj:

thx for responses people im gonna wait till 60 days im just so excited cant wait lol gonna have some spider het red axanthics hopefully plan on keeping all the females hopefully

its day 61 now and still no pip im getting nervouse in your opinion since you incubated at the same temp should i cut thet are very deflated it seems

Are they candling fine?

I don't believe in cutting the eggs. They'll pip when they want to.

I incubated at 88-89 and everyone pipped on day 53. It all depends.

I incubated at 89 and they're pipping on day 51. Interesting, they seem to be faster than the other snakes mentioned in this thread
