[TheWolfmanTom]

If He is running temps in the 84 to 86 degree range, My average hatch is 65 to 67 days.

 

[staylor]

It feels like never at this rate...LOL, but I a hoping over the weekend. Feels like its been forever

 

[ladyknite]

I want in on this. hehehehehe

Anybody know the incubation temp?

at 84F--Next Thursday.

 

[Rolandslf]

The "At This Rate Never" Vote is mine.

The incubation temp has fluctuated slightly between 83 and 85 for the whole period.

 

[zebraflavencs]

We'll just have to see if the two in the "know" are right...
*grins and sits off in the corner and waits...*

I was going to choose sometime next week, too, but that wasn't an option. So I picked the weekend. LOL!

 

[Rolandslf]

Ok, just an update. No babies yet.

 

[staylor]

I was getting excited when I saw you were the one to post in here...man still no babies!

 

[Rolandslf]

Nope, no babies yet.
I think our two resident experts here are going to nail it spot on.

 

[Pogie]

Oh come on now we want little Poopers

Maybe you should try sitting on them - LOL

 

[Rolandslf]

Ok, it has started. I got home from work yesterday and found that 4 have pipped.
I hope I am not being paranoid, but they looked dead to me.
I watched them for about 15 minutes and saw no outward evidence of life, no movement at all.
To stop myself from interfering and perhaps causing more harm than good, I closed the tub and the incubator.
I will check again when I get home from work today.

The 4 Pippies.

P.S. My hands were shaking so much, I could hardly even take the pics.

 

[hanfon]

awww bless, hope all well with the babies x

 

[Nght_RideA]

Ooooo hope they all ok ?! dam hope you finish work early today hahahahahaha want an update !

 

[Rolandslf]

Nght_RideA - Early update as requested.
My wife just phoned me, 9 babies fully hatched so far.
I have told her to move them out of the egg tub into the holding tank.
With the small area inside the egg tub there is one that is much bigger than the others, and she says he is bullying the others.
He apparently had another baby by the head, but the wife sorted it out.
Gee, I can't wait to get home today.

 

[Nght_RideA]

nice !!! not the one having the other by the head by 9 so far ! thats great !
sounds like there is one trouble maker in the bunch !
