First year clutches for our females. 2 females have laid 3 clutches each and the 3rd 1 clutch. Out of all the eggs only 1 baby has actually broke the egg and lived. All but 1 of the eggs that didn't hatch were fully formed. The eggs sweat but the babys never make it out and when we cut them open they're dead. What is going on? We are using coconut husk and keep the temp about 88 degrees. I know sometimes the first clutchs are infertile but all these babies are fully developed they just won't or can't break the egg. The one that did is fine and healthy.What is causing the babies to die in the egg and not get out. Most of the eggs are sweating between 40 - 43 days. Please help can't stand to lose another one.
