Unfortunately I found one of my baby albino het granites dead in its egg this afternoon.

Watching them all like a hawk the past two weeks since they are overdue. I incubated at 88.5 this year so i expected them to go alittle long in the egg. I'm at day 64 now, last time which was in 08 mine hatched at day 65.

My female angel pic below, layed 39 eggs this year. One was a dud, and now the one i just discovered brings us down to 37 full term live hatchlings that for some reason refuse to get out of the egg lol. Duno if i can call them hatchlings yet lol but i have 4 peeking out now.

I had been watching the one egg in particular, something just wasnt right with it, I picked it up today and sniffed and that told me everything right there. whew! think he "gave up" a few weeks ago maybe? Looked like all the yolk was still there and he had just barely started to color. I had to look real close to tell if he was a het or granite.

Still its not looking bad so far i'm at almost 95 percent viable. Which is waaaaay better than in 08 when a incubator malfunction cooked half my eggs

Lets just hope everyone finds their way out of the egg ok.
