Update on my eggs =)

Hey all,

Well I still have 18 out of the 20 eggs my female Beardy layed in May, and they're about 64 days old now!
1 has been dented for quite some time, and is starting to yellow, so I doubt it will hatch but I'm not giving up on it yet...

As for the remaining 17, they were all perfect untill this morning when 3 of them started denting...
Why are they denting this far into incubation? Is this bad?
Temps and moisture are the same... are they denting because they're getting ready to hatch, or what am I doing wrong?!

lol I'm sorry for all the questions... this is my very first clutch and I am beyond excitment

heehee, here's a pic of the 'soon - to - be' daddy

They are hatching. Just sit back and wait, don't touch anything. Wait until the babies are active before removing them. They can stay in the incubator after the hatch for a couple of days without worry. Just keep checking in on them. They will probably hatch out within 24 hrs.

well I am new at this too but I am guessing they are getting ready to hatch # of days is about right....

IDEA: go to your vet or to a surgical supply shop and get a stethascope.

listen to the eggs and you may hear baby dragons starting to move and heart beats!
