I was checking the clutch that I have in the incubator and noticed they the eggs were starting to get larger and have read that they will double in size before they hatch, but mine are growing in size since they were laid 10/25/11 so.....

I was wondering if since I use a fluorescent bulb to stable the chamber temp is helping with egg development seeing how in the wild the suns rays penetrate the grounds surface that if they develope better than in a dark incubator resulting in higher hatch rate and embryonic development and also resulting in soon hatching?

Sorry I have these brainstorms all the time and this one is making me start to question "Researchers" knowledge and records on incubation how to's...

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
