My clutch of 14 alterna eggs resulted in 10 babies: 71% hatch rate. The other four had dead in egg babies, 3 of which looked near full term. I think I added too much water to the vermiculite and they swelled up too much.
My clutch of 8 all hatched this week while I have been out of town. I did not add any additional water after the original 50/50 mix. I did notice that 3 of them had dimpled before I left last Friday.
The only ones I cut were the four that died in-egg from the first clutch. ----- Kent
