I'm not sure if they were scratches, but that's what they looked like, discrete marks rather than random 'windows' of thinner shell development. I had to go to sleep (I'm on nightshifts), but had to force myself to put the torch down and step away from the eggs!

I am! Incubating at the lower temperature has meant a longer wait, but much better results than last year. So far all the hatchlings have been @ 7gs, but Pearl's eggs are at least 1/3 bigger, so I can't wait to see how big her babies will be

Thanks Sue! I've had a chance to set up all the new tubs in readiness, in a new DIY hatchling rack. I need to work out how to stop the little darlings tipping their water bowls over though

Ha ha, I've had two seasons of tipped water bowls, now I use glass tealight candle holders from IKEA, you can get a pack of 12 for I think £1.49 and not a single tipped bowl this year 
But then some of the darned little blighters still manage to tuck the corner of their paper towel in the bowl, which wicks up the water and soaks the tub anyway, babies are so much fun
I did try sticking the lighter plastic ones (bottle caps...lol) down last year with some blue tack and that was reasonably successful, maybe you could try that?

Thanks for the tips! I made the water bowls by trimming the bottoms off of plastic cups, so I'll go on the hunt for tealight holders tomorrow!Ha ha, I've had two seasons of tipped water bowls, now I use glass tealight candle holders from IKEA, you can get a pack of 12 for I think £1.49 and not a single tipped bowl this year

That's a great looking rack! Even better at that price too!
Another thing I've seen people do with plastic cups, is cut them tall enough, so they actually touch the lid of the tub and then cut a couple of semi circles from the top edge, which allows the snake to get at the water, but stops the cup from tipping as it's held upright by the lid.

So far from Annie's clutch, 2 normals, an amel and the hypo, with another egg slitting and a normal nose poking out. My youngest oy will set up the hatchlings that appear while I'm away.
I've set Sundance's 10 with their thawed pinks this morning, I'm hoping they'll fill their tummies quickly because I'm off on my hols this evening!

I'm just back from a week away on holiday, with some mixed news. Three of Annie's remaining 7 eggs had just started slitting as I left last Sunday, but none hatched at all. All were dead in the egg, including a couple of conjoined twins (amel and normal) a couple more hypos and what would have been ghost het motley/blood. 4/6 of her hatchlings have shed, 1 has eaten its first meal.
None of Pearl's had slit, so I candled them. I couldn't see any movement so I slit one, expelled the contents and I've got a premie. I don't know if it will survive, I've set it in a damp container. I didn't expect Pearl's eggs to be viable after such a long incubation, so fingers crossed for the premie and the rest of Pearl's clutch.
One of Sundance's amel hatchlings looks kinked, all have eaten today. I assist fed the kinked one, but if it doesn't straighten out I'll euthanise it.
