On the 10th of May we were presented with a beautiful clutch of 32 eggs (no slugs). But so far, that's all they are, just eggs. No signs of mold or other problems (at least on the visible eggs, because they were all in a clump, I buried them in vermiculite that way, and I can't actually see about 10 of them. They've been at 80-82 degrees. What's the longest I'm likely to have to wait for pippers?

you never heard the saying `" watched snake eggs never pip"....no, damn lol.

just chill and it'l happen someday! if they've survived 65 days and not died...then they could well hatch.

i myself have only ever had one clutch of eggs, and i was surprised when they hatched on only 43 days. had the shock of my life when i opened the egg box for a routing airing and saw 2 little heads poking out at me one of the happiest days of my life

You'll wear a rut in your floor...

I had a clutch hatch out at day 77, and the last egg didn't pip for almost a week afterwards.

Basically, unless the eggs go bad, I wouldn't count them out.

Last year I waited exactly 66 days for four clutches, this year I have had two clutches hatch, one was 72 days, the other was 69 days.... they're incubated on the shelf, thermostat on the house is set at 81*
