    First time breeder seeking advice

    Hey folks, thanks in advance for the help. I had a clutch of 8 eggs (supper lesser paired with lesser mojave). Incubated at 90 degrees. The first baby pipped this past wednesday (day 57) and was out of the egg and healthy this morning (friday). Two of the eggs got moldy at about 50 days and started to stink so I cut them on day 57 and they were not viable (partially formed babies that were dead and a large hard mass inside). The other eggs have not pipped yet. I candled the remaining eggs and all are red and have plenty of veins, one of them is starting to get a little smelly so I separated it from the others. I am inclined to just wait and let the babies pip on their own but want to know if it is unusual for one to pip several days sooner than the rest. Tomorrow is day 60. Any advice from experienced breeders would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Some can pip way ahead of others if the heat source hits a particular part of the tub a lot more than the rest. I'd base my decision to cut (after others pipped) off how dimpled they are.

    I'd give them a bit longer from the sounds of it. Good luck!
