The uppermost egg had been sitting on top of the pile for a while. I moved it down so it could sit next to its sibling eggs and share the same benefits of being completely covered by mom's coils. It had been getting rather wrinkly and oddly shaped sitting on the top and acting as a chin rest for mom. I moved the egg about a week ago and it looks like it has filled out really well. It's still dented on one side but it's very pliable and I believe that the baby inside is fine. All eight of the eggs look like they're starting to dimple a bit and they all feel softer now. I think these guys have another two weeks or so before I can expect some pipping. :)

She finally decided she was hungry. Sixth try is the charm, I guess. :rolleyes: She ordinarily gets fed medium-large sized rats so I gave her a small. Hopefully the other girls don't take so long to get with the program.

I believe today makes Day 50

I've noticed the temp has gone up by a degree or two and I'm wondering if that has to do with the eggs getting ready to pip or if there is some other cause behind it? Up until this point, the temps in her tub have read 86-89 when I've checked in on her and the eggs. This morning, it's at 90.

Yes yes tempest!
They are coming. My understanding of this is: The eggs start giving off heat right before pipping. That's why the recommended temp for hatching is 88-90. If you Inc at 92 at the end babies can die of overheat. Btw, that's not something you have to worry about Inc maternally. It sounds like the little ones are going to start poking out soon though! I look forward to pictures. 

Eggs are looking good! I can't wait to see pics of them pipping and hatching! My eggs are on day 32, so this gives me something to watch for while I wait for mine. :D

Day 54


Her eggs are looking more and more like squished marshmallows. lol I wish they would hurry up and hatch!

I got a new video clip earlier tonight and I think the baby is laying belly up on the right side of the egg. You can see the pulsing of his/her umbilicus.

I wish these guys would hurry up and come out so I can see them all. The eggs have been sweating a bit and aren't adhered to one another so much anymore. Any day now. I need to find something to occupy my time so I stop irritating their mother three or four times a day. :rolleyes: :reading:

how nerve wracking! i love this thread :)
