    Eggs update.

    Well tommorow is day 60 for the eggs and from the 10 that were laid only 5 are still good and all but one of those 5 have started to dent. It didnt really seem like its been this long but when it came to day 53 everything seemed to slow down and take for ever. If they dont pip by day 61 should I make a small cut? The were incubated at 89-90 throughtout the incubation period. I keep feeling like im going to open the incubater up and they all are going to be bad.
    Am I worrying too much? We had a power outage about 3 weeks ago and they got down to 82 but for only a couple hours.

    Aric relax your going to make your hair gray lol.They will pip the eggs when they are ready and will totaly leave the shell when they are ready.As long as you did not open the incubator during the power outage the temps should have stayed close to 90.Give them a day or two and we will see your post stating they are out of the eggs .

    As it was a short time i dont think it should matter this late in the incubation period.We have had our lights go out twice this month and my corn snake eggs still look good.
