    eggs

    this is my first clutch ever ( pinstripe + normal ) day 52
    2 questions
    my eggs look still full when do they start dimpling ?
    I candled my eggs and the snakes take up only half the space of the egg
    I thought at day 52 the eggs would be almost full with snake (I hope I'm wrong)

    Re: eggs

    Hmm don't know about the dimpling. Mine dimpled around mid 40's. Or maybe earlier. Don't remember.

    Re: eggs

    They look great. I would not worry a bit. I would expect to see the first one pip in a couple of days, (day 54 at 89F).
    My eggs always seem to dimple near the end. I'm not sure why yours still look so plump.

    Re: eggs

    They should start dimpling around a week or two before expect hatch date. Try lowering the humidity a little and they will dimple in. I stop adding water to my substrate two weeks before i expect them to hatch. Only half the egg will appear full. There is an air gap at the top, and also you really only see a shadow of the snake when candeling.
