Hatchling passed, but it was odd to me.

Sorry to hear.. Did you increase heat and humidity to shorten the cycle? Benefit to doing so?

Actually unless I see a benefit, I'm not going to even reveal the method. Most animal do not even have their yolk absorbed and are smaller than an average hatchling (60-70 grams) But I did not increase heat so don't cook your eggs and I have always incubated close to 100% as I could get, so there isn't going any higher than what I already did. Last year was an experiment and I stumbled upon this by accident, I wasn't expecting it. day 48 for the 9 egg clutch is friday, if nothing comes from it, I'm going to forget about it. No reason to have people hatching less than ideal animals, just to shave a week of waiting.

Just a theory but it could have been a developmental fault with the lungs?

That wouldn't matter when it was being oxygenated by the egg but would kick in when it began to absorb everything and have to start breathing on its own.

Very well could be, wasn't doing good at all outside of the egg, but still made it for about 24 hours.
