Should I worry

[zues]

I had started putting a few animals together and found out I was moving so I separated all the animals. I thought I was safe but I ended up getting one clutch. With my incubator in storage(in a different state) I did the quick run to walmart for the aquarium heater and cooler. That happened in an apartment while we were buying a house. Since then we have moved into a house so the cooler full of eggs had to make the bumpy ride across town also. Now today is day 53-55. Wasn't expecting eggs so not exactly sure but I'm pretty sure it's 54. Most of the eggs look small and collapsed. One looks a little better. The eggs have no mold and still candle so that means they are still alive right? Normally I don't worry about eggs and let them do there own thing but with the move and lack of my real incubator I've been waiting for something to go wrong. Should I leave them alone or cut one egg to see what's going on? Sorry for the short book.

Just because they are not molding doesn't mean they aren't dead. They could be dried up.

But if they candle and have veins, they should be fine.

Poke them to see if you can gauge any movement.

I'd leave them alone and see what happens.

You do have them in a temperature controlled environment, right? (Something like a makeshift incubator?)

Yes I have them in a tub inside a cooler. The cooler has water in the bottom with an aquarium heater controlled by my herpstat. The egg tub is not airtight and the cooler holds humidity great.

You should be fine then. Just poke and check for movement.

I pretty sure I saw movement in the worst looking egg so I'm guessing I should start seeing little heads poking out in the next few days. Can't wait.

I would cut one just to see! They are old enough that it would not hurt them!

congrats on the eggs post pics of them when they come out

you should be fine. if you get a dead egg it doesn't take long before your nose will let you know one is dead. seeing pink veins is a good sign. they are denting in, let them be a few more days, they should be fine.

Not sure with bps but I know with gecko eggs if you incubate cooler temps (could have cooled from the move) the incubation time is longer. Maybe they will just take a little longer?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I will post pics when they hatch. I will also post pics of the awful temp incubator. It's a little less embarrassing now that it actually worked.
