My mexican milk eggs are @ 70 days old, at @80deg. They look OK. They have generally gotten fatter in the middle. Anyone have expericance with mexican eggs hatching after 70 days?

I wouldnt think thery'd go much longer than that. Did you candle them a while back to see forsure if they were fertile?

I tried candeling them after they were about 4 days old. I thought a saw an indication of fertility but I am not sure. I did not have a very bright light and was not in a dark enough room I guess. I rechecked by calander and the eggs are 71 days old today. A couple of the eggs have started to have a dent in them that appears and dissapears while you are watching it. I am hoping this must be to movement in the eggs. This is my first experience with snake eggs. I have high hopes of success.

It has been three years in the making, since I bought my pair of babies online from this site. My first pip this mourning!! Any advice on when I should interveen and tear open an egg that hasn't opened on it's own? Can babbies be kept together? When should a water boal be provided? Thanks
