My eggs are "due" to hatch any day now. But I am wondering at what day do you guys normally have eggs hatch? My eggs are incubating at about 82 to 84 degrees F.

thanks.

PS- candling eggs shows the babies are very big now and appear normal ang healthy. I'm excited I can't help it.

Books I've read gave an estimated time of between 65-78 days. If it was kept cooler, heard some cases when the eggs where incubated at room temperture taking up to the 90 day mark, but yours were incubated at the normal temp range so around 67-78 days. Lots of factors can put the hatch date off by days or even weeks temp, humidity, females health before laying all could factor in to the actual date of hatching.. Just hang in ther and let them hatch on their own. Good Luck with the new babies.

heh, they hatch when they are ready

Don't worry, I'd never let my antisipation(sp?) hurt these little guys. I just am so excited to see them for the first time (not through the shell I mean). I hope it's soon, but if it's a ways off yet, oh well. They just seem so big already when candling. From what I can tell they're extremely close.
