Day 49 - when will it dimple?

[AcePythons]

So my Little Egg is on day 49 (err, well 50 if you count the day it was laid).

It was incubating at a steady 87.3 and has now been warming up a bit as the incubation has gotten further and is now at about 87.7

I was curious if any of you had incubated around that temperature and when your hatch dates usually were? Also, when will it start to dimple.

Some of you may have been following the little egg's story and I'm just terribly worried it might try to pip through the window in it's shell, which would almost undoubtedly cause it to spill everywhere. Do you think it will try to pip through the window or do they usually pip through the top of the egg.



Thank you guys!

Don't worry, the egg looks great. I would guess it would hatch around day 60 with your temps.

They don't ALWAYS dimple, so don't worry. If he does pip through the window (since he can see light through it, who knows--they usually pip at the top, though), and goo spills out, he will still be fine.

Ok Thank you both! ... I'm just being the worried mother-to-be! SO EXCITED!

I talked to a breeder who incubated some ball eggs this year around 86* and they pip at day 70. they looked very healthy and they were big for being hatchlings. your egg looks great, give it some time, the waiting is the hardest part. good luck, don
