Day 28 and 433gram 5 egg clutch looking good all fertile and turgid being through the bulk of it I trust ill be patient and the next few weeks will fly. Not sure what my other girls are doing . . . this may be the only clutch until late summer

[docturgonzo]

Great news. Just curious ad to wether they have plumper back up or if they still have that dimpling to them. Not long left now

[Vilenica]

those two top eggs that are dimpled were dimpled when layed and are dimpled now 28days in ? They are fertile just seem to have room in them.

Jp didnt get in ... outcome was 1.0 normal 2.0 yellowbelly and 0.2 yellowbelly. Nice ratio (4/5 yb's) for me, especially with 2 of them girls . . . I incubated at ~ 86.5-87.5 for the first 45 days then ~ 88 to day 58 when they pipped. 1 male yellowbelly unfortunately has a bad tipped tail, besides that they are perfect.
