Ready to hatch

[KashMoneyExotics]

I have one egg that may be ready to hatch. The egg has “sweat stains” and has become soft. Not sure if its about to hatch or the egg is going bad

 

[DrCarrotTail]

Fingers crossed it's ready to hatch!

O awesome I was going to ask the same Q. Thank u KME for posting this. I have an egg that has been looking like its sweating the last 2 days. Its 8 weeks old tomorrow and incubated at 82-83. So is that whats going on with mine to? Good luck with your egg KME.

 

[KashMoneyExotics]

thank you and how long do you think until it hatches?

Mine will usually "sweat" for a couple of days, and then start to dent/crumble in/and or shrink. When that happens, I usually will see the nose pop out within 15 minutes. Fun to watch. Good luck on your hatching!!

Awesome I'm so excited. That should mean hopefully some time tomorrow I should have my very first baby. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww sorry its just so cool. lol

At 81.3F (herpstat steady temp), I see them hatch about 4 days after I first notice a little bit of glossy-sweating.

Sometimes I see them dent 4-7 days before hatching, but that may have been because "humidity slightly too low". (?) ......(I know the humidity was a little too low in that cup due to reasons I won't blabber about right now...lol)

Ok so it maybe a few more days than. That's ok tho just can't wait. lol My humidity should be good I need to get a new gauge this week end tho/ Thanks for the reminder. lol I'll put it on my list right now. lol

I woke up this mourning and this is what the egg looks like

The egg started to dent in, how much longer until it hatches?

When was the egg laid and what is your temps?

 

[KashMoneyExotics]

laid may 4 at 82-83 degrees after the 3 week mark I slowly bumped up the temperature to about 85-86 degrees.

I think its clutch mate went bad, the egg looks good, but when candled its yellow inside

Hopefully it will hatch. If it goes bad, it will dent in further, collapse, and start growing mold. One note
on the clutch mate egg, even if you candled, and thinking it is bad....don't toss if it looks ok. I never toss until they collapse and start growing mold.

 

[KashMoneyExotics]

Do you think its close to hatching

 

[scm133]

If it is a good egg...then yes.

One thing that I have noticed with you guys....you seem to handle your eggs an awful lot. You do know to mark the top of the egg when found, right? After that don't turn them or flip them for candling and pictures. Personally, once I put mine in the GEO cradle, I leave it alone. Just an observation....not to criticize.

I know I didn’t turn or rotate the egg I just picked it up and took the picture underneath

I always mark the top of mine. I candle 24 hrs after laying. Than leave it alone until time to hatch and candle one last time just be shur the embryo is moving around. Other wise I open my incubator and look twice a day. Unless of course like now i have an egg close to hatching so I check on them a few more times a day.

I try not to open the incubator, so the temps and humidity stays constant. Mine has a window, so I can check without opening it. I only check my eggs once a week. That is when I actually take the lid off the cups and check the moisture.

 

[Kjenkins]

Sorry that's what I meant. Mine has a window witch I check. I didn't mean I opened it. lol No I do like you I open and check once a week and let air in ect. ect. You know the drill. I wear gloves when I handle the eggs to. I heard the oils on your hands are bad for them. So I try not touch a whole lot. I did move this egg to a larger container tho so it had room to hatch with out disturbing the others.

If it's yellow inside it sounds like it was bad to begin with. Once an egg is fertile and starts developing it turns pink and stays pink/red. I really doubt it could change back to yellow. Sorry to say the one with the yellow spot on it doesn't look good. If it smells or is growing things I would get rid of it.
