Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of forum activity. My last clutch failed very rapidly and I am fairly convinced that my new male ust hadn't quite "done the business" properly! This time however, I have had a clutch of 9 that have slowly been reduced to 4 viable eggs (mould mainly some early random dessications) and we are currently 57 days along.

In the last 36 hours, all but 1 of the eggs have started dimpling. One is dimpling in a pattern I have not seen before (4 small dimples in an even sort of belt all around the egg). My incubation temp has been 89-91 F. I have added some water to the perlite but this has had no effect and I am very reluctant to add any more. Please ignore the dessicated egg in the background-I was curious to see the process and it has now been removed.

Having had a quick recap through the advice offered by you wonderful people last time - could this be them readying themselves to pop out or is it too early? Should I be getting my chuckling rearing setup sorted ASAP

Yurs very anxiously,

Ben
