Need help with hatch dates.ATN DRAYBAR

reptile_man7mm Jun 25, 2007 08:27 PM

Okay.. by my ESTIMATED calculations..and there usually extremely close... my eggs were laid on

LAID:may 11th-Okeetee----july 10th

LAID:May 20th- amel --------july 19th

The hatch dates are on the right..obviously..

Okay i will be out of town with my job..July 13-16.. ill be home late the 16th.

If none have hatched on the 12th... would it be alright to take them out of the "oven" and put the egg tub in a 28qt steralite in my rack. That way if they all come out they can go as they please. I hate to leave them all together like that for a few days if they do hatch, however i dont really know what other options I have. I have turned the incubator down to 81degrees, but my luck the okeetees will hatch while im gone...
All my other rat snakes had a later start, so im good with them.. just the Okees and the amels im worried about.

Opinions please...

Thanks

Michael

Hi,
I've been breeding for seven years now. And I often let a clutch stay together in the egg box till that first shed and then seperate. Put in a little water dish for them if you can. They'll be fine!

There you go.
I think that should tell you what you need to know.
