64 days and no hatchlings yet. How long for most of you folks?

I'm really getting impatient. The eggs look great. Nice and big and white. Humidity looks fine. Moss is barely damp but the clear deli cups have condensation on the inside. Temps have always been on the 80-85 deg F range except when I open the Hovabator every few days for a few minutes for a peek at the eggs. What gives?

They probably are just taking longer to hatch. Mine hatched about 60 days and it took about 3 days for all the babys to come out. I wouldnt worry yet, if they all look fine. If it gets around 70 days I would then start to worry a little. Or if some start to look bad.
Good Luck and Hope they hatch

I would let them go until day 75 before slitting them myself.

Mine were at day 65 and I was wondering if they were day dead. Day 66 arrived, and so did two of the clutches...one was on day 55, one on day 62. Fast forward a couple of days to today, and another clutch (on day 66) is hatching.... which leaves me with only one more clutch to start pipping!
