The hatchlings are finally here day 66

krusty Jul 17, 2007 10:51 AM

Well I waited the 50 days and then went to Costa Rica for vacation. Bad timing but didnt have a choice on cancelling. I had someone watching the eggs for me. So I thought I would come back to a bunch of babies.

I got back and saw that instead of dimpling I had 4 super sized eggs ready to explode and 2 normal sized eggs and no babies. I was about to give up on them since I thought something had happened while I was gone. I left them alone and every day would come back and check for any sign.

On day 65 the first normal one pipped so I cut open the other normal one. I left the other 4 thinking they will do what they will. On day 66 one of the large eggs had a hole. I then cut it to find a full formed dead baby. I then decided to cut another and found a barely moving fully formed baby which also soon died. I then cut the other 2 and found them to look a lot better. I still have them in the egg day 67 with my fingers crossed.

Has anyone else had that long of incubation times with temps between 88-89, and does anyone know what morph these are. They arent dramatic yet, but I used my super dad to normal female, and they all have the markers for this morph. Thanks for looking.

Yes, It was a nice one. It didnt absorb any of the yolk.
