I agree with Nick and Tom.



Don't mess with the eggs and just wait. Lots of times

when you open an egg and they are alive, they often

die shortly after. My petro thalassinus eggs usually

hatch out at about 53 days but I cook them close to

88-90 for the first month then drop them down closer

to 86 for the remaining month.



They may be just fine at 67-68 days, especially if you

incubated at somewhat cooler temps. Keep in mind

that when you candle eggs that some may move due

to the all of a sudden bright light while other can sleep

through it so for that reason I don't depend on the

movement or the lack of when candling some of the

eggs. I usually don't candle unless one or two last eggs

are way overdue. At this time, depending on what I see,

I may choose to open one.





If one should hatch, leave it in the egg tray as it will

entice the rest to follow shortly after.
