Ok, I've read anywhere from 180-300 days. Can people who have actually hatched out Veilds recently contribute the exact duration of their situation and corresponding temps?

My clutch is at 115 days and counting. Temps have been 72F-78F throughout. The eggs are unchanged. Is their a trigger needed to "bump" them into the next phase of development?

Thanks,

Bill

My last veiled clutch to hatch out were laid in late July, hatched in March. Almost 9 months to the day.
I incubated the eggs at room temp. It took a little while longer, but I was rewarded with stronger babies straight out of the egg, with bigger sizes and almost no mortality from those who did hatch.
I would suggest maybe candling the eggs, check for veining. That at least will give you an indication that everything is going along smoothly. I would further suggest tossing out any OBVIOUSLY bad eggs, but to leave the rest be.
Other suggestions: I dunno, maybe take up smoking, perhaps knitting? Something to pass the time.
