Success-finally....

My first attempt at breeding reptiles and after 199 days of incubation I had all but given up. When I checked in on the eggs at first glance I thought the whole clutch had gone moldy. Full story at the herpcouch
Thanks to those who offered good advice early in the process I now have 39 healtly looking hatchlings.

PS - How long should I wait on the 10 eggs that didn't hatch out?

I fight for the unconventional
My right, and its unconditional
I can only, be as real as i can
The disadvantage is
I never knew the plan
This isnt the way just to be a martyr
I cant, walk alone any longer
I fight, for the ones that cant fight
And if I lose, at least I tried....

As for waiting, youll need to wait as long as the eggs are till eggs. Let them mold and shivvle up before you even think about tossing them.

I have three eggs incubating that are horribly molded, but they are still eggs none the less. We shall see if they hatch.
