I shouldn't slit it, should I?

I haven't slit it yet; still waiting on it. I could hardly even concentrate on work today, and I get home and the egg looks exactly the same as it did this morning! Trichotillomania isn't that far off! :tricho:

You wanna ingest hair? Ewww...

Oh, I thought that meant tearing out hair! LOL now you will all really think I am a freak! (I am not, lol.)

hehe, I had to look it up...

The compulsion to tear or pluck out the hair on one's head and face and often to ingest it.

Eeeeww!

Sick :O

Any baby bp action??? Turn off the lights ;)

I candled it again tonight as best I could, using the brightest flashlight we have; here's the best description I can give. A third of the egg seems to be empty save for some veins; it is the folded-in part you can see in the pic. Now the remaining two thirds is made up of a dark, solid, non seethrough shape, rounded but I can make out no details at all. (hopefully this is a little hatchling...) Now the good part is, there are a bunch of red veins throughout; they look nice and healthy. I dno;t see any "dramatic" movements yet.
I am wondering; could it just be developing slowly due to my homemade incubator I had it in for the first few weeks? The temps then were around 85; now I have gradually moved it up to 90 over the last month. The incubator keeps the temp right on; the humidity stays in with the lid on the r-maid. I do not think the embryo is ready at all to hatch just yet!

Any news? Did it pip on it's own, or was it a dud?
