Eggs not dimpling

[Gutziegal]

I haven't posted on here in a while but I lurk daily. I searched for the answer to my question but couldn't find a thread that had answers.
Question: My eggs are on day 53 and one on the top has been dimpled for a week or so but the rest are still very plump and hard. They all candle great. Should I be concerned about the ones that are still firm or will they soften in the next few days?

Thanks in advance

Don't worry about it...
They tend to not stick to schedules or time frames...,
As long as they candle well...

What you can check is if they are moving around in there...
My clutch is at day 41 and 4 are dimpled and the rest are not.

What's are your temps?
When where they laid?

What temp are incubating at?

[Gutziegal]

Eggs were laid May 1st. I'm incubating at 89 degrees.

ok, your good then, they are due to hatch on the 30, you should see more dimpling soon.

Don't worry about it. It may be early still, and they don't always dimple either. So long as they look healthy and you can make out baby snakes candling, then just let them be. They'll come out when they're ready.

One more thing. I do not see the babies moving like they did a week ago.

I think their fine. When you look at your BP's are they always moving? They are acting like ball pythons in the egg.
Before I cut any eggs to see what is inside, I always let at least one pip on it's own. Then let the babies take trheir sweet time coming out the eggs.

Thanks a lot. That was my plan. I was just being a paranoid new surrogate. I'll end my antsy questions and keep on waiting

I wouldn't worry about it. Eggs that are incubated dryer tend to dimple sooner, eggs with more moisture around them dimple later. There's no set day when they should start dimpling. Good luck!
