SO I posted awhile back a pic of a mess of eggs that my female produced. Thank you to everyone who offered advice i will defantly make the changes i need to for next year.

Things got really interesting with this female. SHe laid that clutch that i had.....then 2 months later she laid another clutch of duds and slugs...I belive she is finally done..ate last night after shedding again (3rd) in 3 months.

Well out of all of this I was able to get one egg that MIGHT have something. It has been 60 days the egg is still in the incubator and is at 82-85 degrees. It has some veining and at the bottom it has a nice dark red color.

My question to you all is how long should i wait untill i cut the egg to see if there is something in it?

Thanks again for looking.

All those eggs are bad except maybe the two larger ones on the far right. I would not cut the egg at 60 days. I'd wait an extra 3 days before doing any cutting.

Yes I know....I posted those awhile back....One made it to today...They were laid on Aprl 26th...I have candeled the surviving egg and there is veining and what looks to be and embryo...I just dont know how much longer i should wiat to see if there is actually something in it.

The egg is mis-shapen and has some windows...but it has made it this long so I am just not sure what to do.

I just took a pic and will uplaod it today some time.
