    Longest time MI clutch to pip?
    Now is day 79 and still no pips. Hot spot where the female is brooding is set to 30 celcius. Eggs are candeling good and are still looking good. The wait is killing me...

    That's only 86F so that seems on the lower side so they would take longer to hatch.

    So, I cut the eggs today at day 93. 3BELs, 2mojaves/phantoms not sure could not see the pattern well and one phantom what I think was drowned in the egg. The egg fluids in this one were cloudy a bit reddish colour. I put the egg in incubator with the rest just hoping I'm wrong...
