This is a recent reply post I made over in the Gray Banded forum. What a cool experience from just a short while ago! Never expected to see anything like this.
RE: Hey Mike- Pic Of Eggs...I Hope!
Day 70 here... candled the egg a few hours ago with tools laid out to slit open a small flap, while candling I was prepared with a fine gel pen to mark between the small blood vessels just under the shell to avoid them while opening the egg. I noticed that those vessels had all pulled away and had moved to one very centralized area so I knew things were alive and happening. Candling further, I noticed healthy movement in the shadowy outline of the baby inside, reacting to the light. Clearly active and normal, so I have left it alone to let nature take it's course. Pretty awesome to see the perfect shadowy outline, head and all moving about, creeping around inside of the egg... sort of like a healthy hatchling shifting around inside a translucent plastic easter egg. Would love to have a video clip of that someday.
