    Re: I shouldn't slit it, should I?

    I haven't slit it yet; still waiting on it. I could hardly even concentrate on work today, and I get home and the egg looks exactly the same as it did this morning! Trichotillomania isn't that far off!

    The compulsion to tear or pluck out the hair on one's head and face and often to ingest it.

    Re: I shouldn't slit it, should I?

    I candled it again tonight as best I could, using the brightest flashlight we have; here's the best description I can give. A third of the egg seems to be empty save for some veins; it is the folded-in part you can see in the pic. Now the remaining two thirds is made up of a dark, solid, non seethrough shape, rounded but I can make out no details at all. (hopefully this is a little hatchling...) Now the good part is, there are a bunch of red veins throughout; they look nice and healthy. I dno;t see any "dramatic" movements yet.
    I am wondering; could it just be developing slowly due to my homemade incubator I had it in for the first few weeks? The temps then were around 85; now I have gradually moved it up to 90 over the last month. The incubator keeps the temp right on; the humidity stays in with the lid on the r-maid. I do not think the embryo is ready at all to hatch just yet!

    Any news? Did it pip on it's own, or was it a dud?
