CONGRATS ZACH!!!!!

My advice: Toss the eggs that are obviously misshapen and yellow(Dont laugh, my first time around I actually INCUBATED those...with lousy and smelly results

Secondly, as Steve said keep the rest of the eggs that you classified as good. Keep an eagle eye on the two that show yellow coloration at their apex(Ends) If those two start to smell , toss them also) People will say not to toss any until hatch time, but I have "Nurtured" my fare share of eggs that ended up being smelly cheese balls(Oh God...the smell!!...)

As for the remainder....make sure that incubator has enough air circulation(Did you get the air circulation model?)

And for GODS sake...dont let the temps spike or go over 80. Much less is better. 74-75 is ideal.

You may or may not produce ones with kinked spines or dead in shell, a lot of it is sheer luck. If they all come out good you and I are going to Barona Indian Casino to capitalize on your good run of luck and make some real money

Congrats again and am sorry I wasnt able to get back to you in a more timely fashion, work and volunteering in my daughters class in the creation of the perfect Easter Egg has kept me pretty busy


**God Bless You**

P.S.
Now that youve bred Indigos, it is time you graduated to something even more difficult and hard to breed. I recommend BOELENS PYTHONS....or perhaps Green Tree Monitors
