Hi dave,
In a earlier post you said you incubate your Pit eggs at 75 - 78 degrees F. I was just wondering, how long does it take the eggs to hatch at this temp?
Thanks!!

At those temps I have hatchlings between 68 and 76 days. That has been my experience for northern, black and Louisiana pines.
I have had very good success within those parameters.
There are people on the forum who produce many more pines than I do, it would be interesting to compare incubation temperature and duration records.

I did northerns this year at 78-80 degrees and the first egg pipped at 65 days. Take care!

Well...some Good News! My Albino Sonoran Gopher eggs have started to pip. 
At 82.6 degrees F it is day 62 as they begin to hatch. My first ever Pits!!
