The most common cause of full term not hatching is probably excess moisture. How are you incubating the eggs?

Default Eggs

Using Perlite 1.1 ratio (water) Using a deli cup, no holes. opening lid at 30 days for air. at day 48 I am putting a hole in the lid, and opening the lid every other day. Eggs are turning clear at about 53-55 days then never hatching.
Thanks for your help.....Oh incubator temp is about 82 degrees.

I would suggest using a slightly drier incubation medium, I use 1:0.9 (perlite:water) and it seems to work great for all my strophurus/diplo/nephurus eggs.

From a quick google search, it looks to be the same stuff marketed as "Superhatch" by Repsahy----those little ceramic hydroponic rocks.
