What do your eggs look like when they are about to hatch?

[SnowShredder]

Well I like to tinker with everything in all my hobbies and reptiles isn't any different. I've tried many rack and cages designs and I've toyed a lot with incubators since I started breeding. I'll admit, normally by the time my eggs are ready to hatch, they look like crap. Discolored, shriveled up, or misshaped, sure I had some look good, but most looked like crap. They always hatched and people said it wasn't uncommon, so I never really thought about it. Well with this new incubator, eggs stayed plump white, 1 dent when the time came, and they are due to hatch in a week or so and I've never seen eggs look this good under my supervision. I got a few more clutches in there and they are doing the exact same thing.

So after seeing this, made me wonder, what does everyone else's eggs look like come hatch time? Plump and white and its about damn time I got it right or do they normally look less than appealing?



Bumblebee het Hypo x het Hypo 6 eggs, due to hatch in a week, Pastel Hypo x Pastel 8 eggs, Lemonblast het Hypo x Normal 7 eggs, both due to hatch in a month or so, Lesser x Lesser 5 eggs just laid last week.

Out of curiosity; what if several eggs/clutches hatched under your nose, how are you able to tell what's what? Gearing more towards hets vs normals from another clutch
