Hey guys, so an update on my new clutch. 12 if 13 of Thorne's eggs have hatched. The 12th one hatched just a few days ago at 105 days! However, there is still one little guy still stuck in his egg. They egg has stopped sweating and is now feeling rubbery soft. I can see him in there but he's not moving when I try to candle him. Which I only tried because I was very concerned. I'm not sure what to do. Should I try to help this little guy out (if that's even an option anymore)? I feel like it's been way too long or he might be...you know. if I pip his egg for him...will it kill him if he's still alive? I'm really worried that he may not be.
Poor little one.....did the egg collapse around him, kind of like skin over the shape of his body ? If so, he's almost 100% a goner. You might try a tiny slit, but I doubt he'll make it.
Sorry for the delayed response. But yes it did. We did end up opening it and he was, in fact, dead. I doesn't appear he formed right. I grateful for the 12 I do have - especially for a first timer - but my heart broke for this little guy.
