i thought it was time to start hatching, but i think overwise. 3 eggs dented in and the shell softened but its been 2 days and nothing has emerged nor have anymore eggs dented. the humidity + vermiculite are fine but i don't know what to do. :'(

Well how long have they been incubating and at what temp/humidity?

It can take a few hours to a few days after they slit the egg for them to actually emerge. As long as you dont smell anything you are fine.

31C is a bit to hot. I would lower it to 28-29C.

At 59 days with that high of temperature it is possible that a few are in the process of hatching. Like I said in my original response, you have to give it time it can take a few days for them to come out. Specially when incubated hotter they hatch smaller so it takes longer to work their way out.

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 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
