It all depends on where your temps are at. It can still be a few days to 1-2 weeks and yes I would just look in now and then.

I feel your pain, I'm @ day 62 and am about to go bonkers.

My wife and mom joke that I am more excited about this than I was about my kids, (not true) and I respond that this was a planned pregnancy.

Hang in there, any day now.

Have your eggs started sweating yet Tracey?

 

[QuincysBoo]

They are getting more glossy looking, tops still look like they are thinning, a couple looked wet but I think it is because of the lid... and the temp has been 83.3 ... Tuesday will be 75 days since they been laid..... Can't we just INDUCE to help them come LMAO . I so hope they get here before the 10th of June.... Hope they make it ok.. ... Starting to worry.....
Here are the pictures of the eggs.. The brown around the bottom of eggs is just stained from the coconut husk, and the marked up one is my 20 year old doings..... Like I said they were laid on the 26th of February.......
Just noticed the camera put the wrong date on the pictures so ignore they were taken May 8th.....

Tracey dear I think your humidity gauge is malfunctioning. Your substrate is way to wet. May I suggest you remove the lids on your containers and allow for the substrate to dry out some.

BTW...Happy Mother's Day!

 

[QuincysBoo]

Ok.. removed the lids lol.....How did the eggs look? This is me right about now :shock:



Happy Mothers Day To You Too Barbara.... And to all the other Beardie Mommys Out There....

Lets just hope the eggs are good. With that much water in the bottom is not good. But don't give up! Looks like mom was a bit low on calcium. If you need any more help let us know.

 

[QuincysBoo]

I fed her liquid calcium 3xaday .. And the babies been moving.. so lets hope....

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Just seeing how it is going? Any changes yet?

 

[QuincysBoo]

Well here is the eggs today versus yesterday... They look better besides the substrate on them to soak up the water... lol ... Lids are still uncovered and the humidity is 70..

Yesterday!!
