First clutch of the season

[boagrl1970]

This is Venus's first clutch of the season, she laid approx 14 days POS.My question is, with the incubation temp 82-85 degrees, how long would the eggs take to hatch. here's a pic of the box set-up i have for the eggs.

That range should give you pips in about 60 to 70 days.

Good, that's what I come up with, thanks, now I can't wait till they hatch!!

 

[boagrl1970]

Just a quick update, candled the eggs this morning and all are fertile, now for the hard part.......waiting, since this is the only clutch so far.

OK.....it's day 50 and a few of the eggs have started to dent, 3 so far...what's the average amount of time that it takes from dent stage to hatch?

A week or less? Do the shells feel thinner??

A week or less? Do the shells feel thinner??
