    Longest time MI clutch to pip?

    Now is day 79 and still no pips. Hot spot where the female is brooding is set to 30 celcius. Eggs are candeling good and are still looking good. The wait is killing me...

    That's only 86F so that seems on the lower side so they would take longer to hatch.

    And this is why I open tubs and just be like "Oh cool eggs!" I mist daily and I don't keep count of days. Then one day it's "Oh cool babies!"

    Re: Longest time MI clutch to pip?

    I found an article wich said in the lower temps 23-28celcius the incubation time is 75-83 days. I'm not so worry about the female anymore, she accepted a meal yesterday. It was her first while brooding and I was a bit nervous becouse she did not eat earlier. So, back to the waiting game.

    Re: Longest time MI clutch to pip?

    So, I cut the eggs today at day 93. 3BELs, 2mojaves/phantoms not sure could not see the pattern well and one phantom what I think was drowned in the egg. The egg fluids in this one were cloudy a bit reddish colour. I put the egg in incubator with the rest just hoping I'm wrong...
