    Day 49 - hatchling size?
    Hi guys! Getting pretty excited now at the prospect of my first ever clutch (hopefully) pipping in the next 10 days or so!

    Candled them last night, saw plenty of movement in all 4 eggs, looking very healthy. However, to me as a complete novice the eggs dont seem very 'full' as I would expect them to be. I guess I just what to know if this is normal or not, as I have nothing to compare it to!

    The pairing was pastel butter x cinnamon and they've been at a steady 89 degrees. The eggs are fairly large compared to my spider clutch due a few days after, though those eggs seem to show a lot more shadowing of the babies inside :confusd:

    They could just be small babies!

    My first clutch pipped on day 53, and we're all approximately 70ish grams. It's possible yours may still be growing and won't pip until later (60 days).

    Your eggs are looking great, so in all honesty, I wouldn't really be too worried.
