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.
