It sounds like you did everything you could have known to do. sometimes things happen so try not to sweat it too bad. Congrats on your clutch though, loving the updates!

How positive are you that the one that wasn't moving was dead? Sorry for your loss if you're sure, but these little hatchlings freak me out a lot acting like they're dead even when I poke them, then all of a sudden they wake up and move a bit. Remember, they don't have eyelids and sleep just as much as other animal babies. I thought for sure there was a dead one this morning, took out the tub and poked - nothing... then I went to lift the baby up a bit and it woke up and looked like a grumpy baby.

Congrats on all of the definitely healthy ones! PICS!


It was 6 days ago, so I guess you're sure at this point. Still... I would not assume a baby is dead unless the whole animal was out of the egg and not flipping itself over from being placed on its back.

I know you think you incubated at the proper temps, but I have yet to see an egg go over 56 days without pipping on it's own, if it was incubated 88 to 90.
I would think you incubated closer to 86 to 87 to go that long.

Lmao, this dude is wearing gloves! You need to relax, I've never seen anyone wearing gloves to cut eggs.

Nothing wrong with wearing gloves. It's rare that I ever cut an egg, but when I have I prefer gloves. Not a big fan of getting egg goo on my hands.

Why wouldn't you wear gloves to cut eggs? You're exposing a previously closed system (egg) literally filled with nutrients (yolk) to bacteria and fungi, anything you can do to lessen the risk of infection is a good thing. Especially if they're sitting there for a week.

In context, no, but I and many others have worn them for other reasons. ;)
