argh the wait is killing me... :(

ok so the eggs of my first clutch are now 7 weeks and a day in the incubator, and for the past 7 weeks I had no problem with the wait most probably because of ovulations and pre-lay sheds of the other females but it is really starting to itch, it is driving me crazy.

I feel the urge to keep looking in the incubator and I want to but I don't because I am afraid the temperature will fluctuate to much for the other clutch that's in there. I did however check on them earlier to day to vent some fresh air in and wipe of the lid and saw the eggs are starting to dent in so seems like everything is on schedule, right?

Any tips on what to do to make it easier to fight the urge to look all the time?

I realize a lot of you people had this and maybe still do after breeding for years but maybe you found something(s) to get your mind off of it.

thanks,

Andrew

Trail ride my mountain bike, Well that and having to feed and clean a couple of hundred snakes every week will quickly put the clock in fast forward.

haha :D

I am afraid whiskey will mess my self control up and have me look :D

but are they on schedule? some of them have started to dimple.

My house has been spotless since I've been trying to keep distacted, so that seems to be a good side-effect, lol.

I still have 18 days left :(

I'm on day 30 of my first clutch ever (lesser x lesser) and the waits killing me already, so I can only imagine how it must be when you get closer. I feel for you. I started a garden and planted flowers...lol

Thanks everyone!

I did find some distraction, my Leopard female looks like she could drop her eggs pretty soon, she is due on the same day the eggs of the first clutch are supposed to pip but I can clearly see the first eggs is already pretty close to the cloaca, my guess is that she drop her eggs before May 23th even though the first 2 clutches where late ( day 41 & day 36)

Glass front incubator and a flashlight.

Good luck!!!

Day 52 and some of them are dimpling nicely :) getting pretty excited now :dance::taz::dance:

oh and a correction on my thought about my Leopard girl, my eyes deceived me when I thought I saw the eggs where very close to the cloaca they are still a bit off so she'll probably lay on day 30 or just like the first 2 girls past her due date :(
