It may be out by morning. Best to just leave it be. Mine tend to actually come out of the eggs at night. Could take at least 12hrs. They do a lot of sleeping in between hatching. Most will make it out on their own. Make sure you have enough moisture. Good luck,

the humidity is pretty high in the tank incubator. i built it from a 10 gallon aquarium. i hope all goes well i cant stop looking at the little one. how long before the other eggs hatch out as well? there are 21 of them and that is the only one pipping.

I know how exciting it is. Water droplets on the egg is the best indicator that the dragon will soon pip. My last clutch started on Sunday and finished up today. It just takes some time. Have fun!
Take care,
Karen

there are 4 more pipping now and one of them is big. they are so cute. i cant wait for them to come completely out and start moving around.

be patient. There may be some that could hatch 4 days or so later than the first so don't freak if some do. Many babies die from inpatient owners who think they have to help the baby out.

Good luck.
