    Today is day 53 in the incubator and the eggs are collapsed. Do these looked ruined? Any chance they may still hatch?

    They look perfectly normal, they should be pipping any time now.

    Well today is day 60 and nothing. I don't see or feel any movement inside the eggs. Temp is at 88 degrees. Do I need to cut them or just wait and see what happens.

    Ok I cut the eggs and some blood came out of the eggs. Hope this was ok. So I put them back in the incubator. IS that what I am supposed to do and see if they come out or do I pull them out? I still don't know if they are alive or not. This is my first time doing this.

    If it woulda been me, I woulda cut em on day 55 regardless! No do not take them out of the egg.... Cut the eggs and leave them be, if they leave the egg before they absorb their yolk their chance of survival drops exponentially

    The blood is normal,if you cant see them move you can kinda give em a poke with your finger and see if they move. Other than that be patient they will come out in due time

    Well this morning two of the eggs have the heads sticking out of them now. Hope they will come all the way out and the other 4 will follow suite soon.

    Well all 6 eggs hatched out and I got 3 normals 2 pastels and I swear I think a Lesser. It sure looks likes a lesser to me at least and if so I have no idea how this happened.

    It looks like a dark lesser or a black lesser to me. What were the parents? Can you provide photos of them?

    Certainly looks like a lesser and two pastels. Why is this hard to believe? What were the parents?

    The breeding was between a regular pastel and a normal. I do not have pics of the parents as I sold my entire collection right after the eggs were laid due to a emergency.

    How long had you had the female before you bred her? I wonder if it's a case of retained sperm from the previous season.

    That's definitely a Lesser.. You'll see how all three of them are going to brighten up drastically after they shed. The Lesser should continue to brighten every shed or two for awhile.
