Dimpling at 44 days

[Artemisace]

So as the title says my eggs laid on 5/25 have been dimpling or deflating, whichever you prefer since Monday. The babies inside all seem alive when candled and the eggs are pearly white. My first clutch so I'm probably just over thinking everything. They have been incubated at around 90.5 to 91 degrees. Controlling temps is a real challenge in AZ. Pics are from this morning.

Wow, how much water is the medium saturated with? Do you use "press and seal" around the container? Has the 91.0f temperature been constant? Is that just perlite or did you mix the medium with something? What is your humidity percentage? How are you monitoring the humidity? I think that is the real problem but you have to know where the level is first.

Temps have been pretty stable, the medium is actually hatchrite I only had to add a little water like two weeks in. The tub I use is a sterilite tub with a lid, the incubator is a zoomed reptibator and has a nice lid on it.

Do you have any idea what the humidity level or percentage is? Also, why don't you just grab some "press and seal" to increase the humidity. I think the humidity may not be high enough..

Humidity has been stable at 99% the whole time. Is this not normal? The reason I haven't gotten any press n seal is my humidity hasn't been an issue.

If you're incubating at 91 maybe they're just getting ready to pip around day 50?

That would be cool like I said I'm probably just over thinking everything.

I hope so. Well, you cant get much better than that humidity percent. Anytime I see early dimpling like that I think its a humidity issue. But yeah, hey that's a relief. Best wishes on a healthy clutch. What was the pairing?

I appreciate the concern and thank you for the advice it'll go in my bag of tricks for next year. Pairing was normal x pastel. But there is a super tiny possibility the father is a killer queen that the shop I got her from was pairing to her. But I'm not counting on that, I'll be super thrilled with whatever the babies are. This is my first clutch ever.
