Just hope they hatch in the time frame they are due to hatch. It kills when they hatch late.

Yeah I hope so too. They are doing good they are still very hard and the humidity is just right. When should I candle them dude.

I don't think you'll ever really need to candle them. Have you candled eggs before? The one time I felt the need to was with my lone female gold dust. She laid an egg and a few weeks later I candled it to find out it was a dud. I dot the top of my eggs with a sharpie to make sure if I am clumsy. I can fix the egg back to it's position. If you decide to mess with it though try to do so as little as possible.

Also, I have been taking my eggs out of the adults enclosure and incubating them in containers. I take the lid off to let fresh air in ever couple days. I basically pop the lid off and look at the eggs for a few seconds and put the lid back on. Good luck!

I have been opening the container to let fresh air in.... but I want to candle in about a month so I can verify they aren't duds... At least see an embryo or something nearing the two month mark maybe. anyways I'm very excited she's pregnant again this time the eggs are popping out exaggeratedly.
