You posted wonderful pics of really good clutchs, Its not about believing your results. As Gregg mentioned, its about your conclusions, You do one thing, then make conclusions on something else. Your conclusions are NOT in context with your wonderful hog breeding.

I am result based, the numbers are something that follows results. Which means, I could careless what the numbers are or are suppose to be. If the results are superior. Your stated results appear to be superior. No problem.

Yet you make conclusions on something else, I ask real questions as to why it could take so long, like what are the nesting temps, and you ignore the questions. But your pics are wonderful in any case.

Whats interesting is, I received the same results as Gregg, my axanthic kennerlyi laid in 3 to 5 days and the eggs developed a vascular system aprox a week after laying. The real advantage was the female has fed daily since she laid and has copulated again. My guess is, its hotter here, Tomorrow it's suppose to be 111F and humid. So everything is fast with reptiles. The heat also contributes to infertility. That's my task, keep the heat down and the times and numbers up.

So its not about believing you, you have proved your doing well. But have not done nothing to support the context of your conclusions. holding eggs, egg binding, etc. You also mentioned that you have females hold the last egg and you palpate them out. Sir, that's not a good thing. Now I have to ask, is it possible that's a product of holding eggs 12 days or more? Congrats
