What is the longest time any of you have had eggs go before.....

BeginnersBasics Sep 14, 2003 12:48 PM

.....hatching?

I have never (Untill now) had a clutch go over 60 days before they dimpled and got ready to hatch.
I now have a clutch on day 69, they are all perfect and healthy looking, but ZERO signs of hatching.... It is driving me bonkers! LOL

Could any of you that have bred and had clutches hatch please post the longest time that you had eggs in the incubators before they hatched?

Thanks

I have one female, that regardless of the male she's bred with, eggs that never start hatching until day 83......the latest start with her eggs has been day 88 with hatching until day 93. Her hatchlings all hatch out large and fat though so I guess they are well worth the wait.

Thanks... this is a first clutch for this female and I guess she may be "one of those" LOL I have 2 more clutches of hers in the incubator right now also.

Thanks for the info

I just realized! My eggs hatched after 75 days (last year) September the 20th. That means - your dragons must have mated the same date as mine did last year?! (If I am not counting it wrong..) Did your dragons mate June the 17th? Useless information - but quite funny!

Arrghhh! It’s me being silly! It is of course when the eggs were *laid* that matter…! Excuse me – I have the flu and my head isn’t working one bit! Anyway – good luck with the eggs!
