Day #58 of incubation, and in conjunction with that green pepper smell, the eggs look like this:

C'mon, babies! Pip! We love pippes aroud here. :D
 
Very exciting! Those eggs look great. And of course, you have to post pictures of your new hatchlings.
 
Of course I'll be back with pics! Even if they'll "just" be amels and classics, they'll be CUTE WIDDLE BABY amels and classics. ;) Hubby suggested a web cam--I think that's too late for this year, but next year, when I cross my lavender Aztec with my hypo vanishing stripe, I totally will want a web cam for this time.

Do babies pip whenever, or do they seem to prefer late night? I don't recall. I know my *first* pippies last year finally poked out just past midnight, but I don't know if that's circumstantial or not.
 
I actually was wondering that this year with my first clutch. My first egg pipped in the afternoon and the rest pipped at various times. They do tend to come out when you're not hovering over them, though. I had to force myself to do dishes or watch a movie to keep myself from checking on them.
 
Thanks Flea886! Cleo's eggs aren't as big and round as some other's, but they are fertile no less. :) She had a lot of snowflaking in them this year; not sure what that was about. Morning of day 59 and no pippies yet...waiting BLOWS.
 
Mine had a lot of snowflakes too. I think I read it has to do with calcium. Will have to get vitamin powder for next year
 
Yeah--I used a calcium spray and vitamin powder this year, but I was off in my timing and she only got it for the last two feedings before she laid her eggs. Next year I really need to start as soon as she's ready to breed, assuming I breed her again.
 
UGH. Day 60, strong green pepper smell...nothing. *sigh*

I even dreamed they pipped, dangit. Of course what pipped was genetically impossible, but still! SUCH a bummer to wake up, go check the incubator, and see more or less the same thing pictured in my original post.

*siiiiiiigh*
 
82-ish. Geez, and the only phenotypes in this clutch possible are amels and normals. What on EARTH will I be like next year when my breeding pair will produce EIGHT possible phenotypes??
 
I have eggs on Day 51, 82F. Mine have been hatching on Day 66.

edit: hatching at 66, not 56. I'm delusional...

This is right now from my Egg Cam with the test box. I'll move the babies in either when the eggs slit, just for fun, or when we go on vacation next week.
 
My babies at someone else's house hatched today. Day 64. The female is away visiting a male. Now _that_ is driving me crazy!! Bloodred tesseras!!
 
Your female is visiting the male this far into the season?? Can they be bred at this point? (If that's the case, my new lavender girl has a date with a hypo stripe PRONTO.)

(And ooooh, bloodred tesseras! COOL!)
