Well this is supose to be the weekend that my eggs hatch.I am really excited but kind of skeptical the reason that I say this is yesterday I pulled A egg out that was kind of hard.So I broke it open and there was A little GTP. but the yolk or ambiotic fluid was all dried up so the snake was dead but the one thing that I did learn is that she is fertile.Man my patience is thin on these I am goin nutts.HATCH HATCH HATCH (LOL)And just think I just picked up A 1.3 Biaks that will go this season and I dont know if Im gonna have the patience Any advice on the eggs if they dont hatch this weekend? Hurry up and wait?Please some advice would be helpful on this

>>Hi T-Hound...

Are you using artificial or maternal incubation...?...and what day are you at as of today (Sat)...?...TW

Hi Mr.Walsh today is day 49 and they are starting to look kinda dry she is still on them and there are some that are still soft and some are hard.she laid them on nov 16 and they are slated to hatch soon yes?

She is doing it her self

>>It is normal for the eggs to dent in the last week of incubation, and as at least some of the eggs appear "soft" - that's a good sign. Typically if all is well with the female and the ambiant conditions are right maternally incubated eggs begin to hatch between day 49-51. On Saturday afternoon try parting a top coil with the erasor of a pencil - you might see a head poking out. I would wait at least 12, maybe 24 hours, to pull and separate the eggs once you see the first eggs pip. Good luck & enjoy...!...TW

Thanks mr walsh for all your help and I will keep you posted
