I was wondering for those of you that have hatched your eggs, what day did they hatch on?

My eggs are on day 44 and are looking like its just about time! Over the last couple of weeks they started dimpling a bit and in the last 48 hours they are dimpling quite a bit! I know most of what I have been told and have read says days 50 to 55. Today I showed the first sign of a clear spot where an egg is starting to expel water!

I thinking my eggs could hatch in just a few days by the way they look. My female held the eggs in till day 24 from her prelay shed! She was crusing the tank deciding between the two nesting spots for about a week before I finally locked her in one because I was afraid she would lay from the perch! But the night I locked her up in the box she laid!

I know some females lay as early as day 14 from the prelay shed so I am wondering if my eggs match hatch sooner since she held him in longer?

Here are a few pics of the eggs from day 30, 40, and 44!

I would love any feedback from anyone experienced!

THANKS!

DAY 30!

DAY 40!

DAY 44!

My Aru-type X Wamena clutch is also on day 44, and is looking pretty much identical to yours. I start watching carefully for pippers about day 46.

The Avalanche has already started-it is too late for the pebbles to vote....

when they look like that it'll take about a week more,
I could be totally wrong but I think you'll see the first head out on day 51
