Cut? Day 50 (at LEAST), eggs collapsing

This particular clutch is from Mojave x Mystic Yellowbelly.

Nice pair. Well I will be looking for a hatching post then within a week or 2

Thanks! Will do!!

I'm obviously hoping to hit on the Yellowbelly Mystic Potion, which I haven't seen before.

Good luck

They look fine for where they're at. I wouldn't cut yet. I think the best practice is waiting for the first pipper.

Not sure how to edit/update the original post/thread title to show UPDATE, and remove multiples of the same pic.

But....

I knew I didn't find this clutch on day 1, they were a bit too collapsed when I found them to have been freshly laid (lower than optimal humidity for eggs in the moms tub).

Today I looked in the incubator into this egg tub and noticed a tiny red mark on one the eggs...

Closer inspection revealed THIS!!!!

Looks like they're cutting their own way out. Congratulations.

Congrats! Here they come!!!! :D

There are also risks to not cutting.

Congrats. Nature is amazing isn't it.
