My normal's eggs are at 45 days. Anything I need to do for the last 15 days or so? Getting anxious.
Thanks

Yes! be patient!lol! It's hard but,the fun hasn't even begun! Good Luck! Jeff

Often they'll start indenting or "dimpling inward" a few days before hatching, so I reckon you can watch for thet. Though waiting for eggs to hatch is about as exciting as watching paint dry!

Be sure you're stocked up well on small pinkies and caging and water bowls. I need to take my own advice!

Thanks for the input. It's hard being patient, you remember your first time, you just can't wait (not at just hatching eggs either!). I have 14 eggs, one of which has mold that I clean off daily, and currently I have 10 containers for them. Plenty of pinkies in the freese, so I am almost there. My wife works at a restaurant and is getting me some of those little ketchup holders for water bowls. I wish I could get some pics to you but I am technologically challenged and don't know how. Any help in that area would be appreciated too.

Here's a tip Don Soderberg shared with me: Get some of the velcro strips with adhesive on the back of each side and cut it into pieces that are the same size of the bottom of your plastic water cup. Attach one to the bottom of your container, the other to the bottom of one of the plastic cups. Get a second cup to put water in and slide it down into the one that is attached to the bottom of you container. This will make changing water and cleaning your water cup easy, and the hatchlings can't turn over their water. Works pretty good.
