Expecting eggs

[bks2100]

I figured I would give and update and ask a question. This clutch has been incubation for 51 days today. I have read that a lot of people cut at 52, since it is our first time we are nervous about cutting too early. The eggs are sunken in now but we feel that we should wait until at least day 55 (Tuesday) before doing anything. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't had any clutches yet, but I've read the same stuff as you. But after thinking about it and reading about how others do it the ONLY reason to cut early is to see what you've got. But even then, with a lot of morphs you might not be able to tell from a little cut in the egg (pied with low white and the white is underneath, etc) and sometimes you need to wait for their first shed to really be sure. So all you're cutting early for is a chance to see what morphs you got.

I understand the wait though, trust me. My gf and I are breeding chameleons too and we've been incubating eggs for almost 8 months now and they might not come out for another 4 (or even longer).
