Well, it is getting close to hatch time (Laid 7/15) and the eggs are still white, yet they are starting to dent in a little. Not cave in but justa little dented. I have kept them humid and warm and they have no mold or discoloration on them. What should I start to look for now? This is a clutch of 14 eggs from a wild caught, wild bred female. (I think San Deigo gopher Locale: Riverside City/ county CA) I would appreciate any info you can give me! This is all new. thanks

I can't offer a single word of advice except "Patience!!!"....*LOL* ('Cause I know nothing about breeding/incubating) But that is SO cool! I can't wait to hear how it all turns out and hopefully see some pics!

Good luck!

My catenifers are just about ready to hatch and they look just as you discribe yours. From here on out it is a wait and see thing. I did notice all my catenifers bred and laid about month later than did the pines or bulls. Why would an animal from an area that has a longer winter breed and lay sooner than a west coast animal? The pines and bulls are captive produced and catenifers are w/c.

range is in the Pacific Time Zone and they think they are hours behind the pines and bulls so they wait to catch up. LMAO.
