Will my eggs ever hatch?

[browneyes49]

So my eggs have been incubating for 67 days now, and show no signs of hatching yet. They are still plump, and the humidity is between 75 and 80%. They have been incubating at about 82 and 83 degrees. I candled them a few days ago, and some of them were moving, so I know they're still alive. Does it ever happen that live babies never hatch? I'm getting so impatient! :roll:

They will hatch when they are ready. The long wait is probably because of the temps you are incubating at. 82-83 a tad bit lower than what most people incubate at. Between 84-86 seems to be the norm. I incubate with those temps and hatch at 60-63 days consistently.

You have waited this long, a little longer wont hurt :mrgreen:

Oh, I didn't realize that those temps were low. That's not too low right? I was told that over 84 was too hot. I guess everyone has a different opinion when it comes to this stuff. Thanks!

OMG, LOL, never mind. I just checked on my eggs, and surprise surprise! I saw a little head poking out, and 2 other eggs are collapsed. Hee hee. I guess I should have waited another day before getting impatient. My nephews really wanted to see them hatch, and they just happen to be sleeping over tonight. I guess the babies know how to make an entrance.

Thats completely normal. I leave a window open on my Calendar for 65-75 days. I have even had some hatch at 78! So no owrries, I personally wouldnt candle them this late in incubation at risk of turning, dropping them, etc. Im just a freak about those type of things. Anyways, they WILL hatch... That egg that I had for 78 days... I was 1% away from throwing it away but something told me to wait. 2 days later the egg was deflated and the little sucker's head was popping out that evening. I would just be patient andother week or so. Are the eggs starting to obtain an oblong shape now that the Beardies are well developed inside of the eggs?
