Theirs a good reason to manually hatch them!
I got the eggs from gravid imports, they nested the next day I got them.
A common symptom for such embryo is the lack of egg tooth, they cant hatch.
I know eggs well enough to see when they should hatch, a few more days and they are dead full term. As for a strong strain, this has everything to do with proper husbandry of females and good nesting options, dead embryo’s just don’t do it.
Now that we are talking about it, I manually hatch many eggs from 3-4-5 generation reptiles simply to save time, this has absolutely no consequence on healthy babies.
However opening an egg to soon will kill the embryo, opening weak eggs will kill them too, but I feel you already know all about this.
