They're 56 days ... 5 days ago I've seen first drops on the one egg, next day on the second. Since this time notheing changed
- no drops on the other eggs [I've got 12]
- no hatchlings
Only more drops on the first egg ...
How do U think what should I do? Wait or try help babys to hatch?
I know the babys are alive couse I've seen them moveing into the eggs. I don't know what to do ...

Sorry about my English I hope U can understand what I write

Could be as much as another month before they hatch.

Good Luck and Patience!

Do you have a lid on the egg box? Make sure the water on the lid isn't what is dripping on to the eggs.
The eggs start to sweat before hatchings. The shell thins and makes the egg appear darker.
Don't ever help a hatchling out of the shell. Sometimes it can take days for them to immerge, it's a lot of work and they rest for hours in between struggling to get out.

Judging from your close up picture of the egg. Those are NOT sweating. It looks like condensation from the lid has dripped on them.

But it can't be ... The lid is lying aslant so the drops can`t drip on the eggs ...

56 days is early, but not unheard of. I have had eggs sweat and not hatch till almost a week later. I would still leave them alone and see what happens. You take a GREAT risk cutting the eggs open.
