I have an egg (G. hainanensis) that is almost 3 weeks late on hatching. The other unfortunately went bad a while ago. Whats throwing me off is that the late egg still looks perfect. Any ideas on this?

I'm having the same situation with mine. My first pair of eggs hatched, but I screwed up in regard to humidity and lost them. The second pair went bad (let vermiculite get too dry, they seem to be very sensitive). I now have two pairs one of which looks great, but taking quite a while. The good news is the ones that went bad before molded over, so hopefully for yours and my sakes they're just late hatchers. Let me know what happens, and I'll do the same. Anyone out there have any hints it'd be appreciated.

Just keep waiting. Hatching time varies among many things including temps, and even individuals - just like a human, you cant always predict with certainty the exact date something will hatch. Just keep waiting until it hatches, or is obviously dead. And for heavens sake dont get curious and open it! If its not dead, its alive, afterall...

Thats what I have been doing, I'm used to them being a few days off here and there but its been so long this time I was starting to worry. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Guess we will just wait and see.

I've had eggs that regularly hatch at 60 days go for over 180 day for no apparent reason, incubated exactly the same.

That's good to know. By the way, I don't know if you noticed but Claude had more bow-fingereds available on Saturday. Just thought I'd give you a heads up if you hadn't seen them.

Are these first year breeders (from being WC?)? Dealing with Fat tails has kind of made me just wait longer to breed since I don't see much point in a 10% hatch rate versus stress on the female.
Although the luii I got from Coleonyx_Corral are in very good condition so I am tempted to breed either in the Fall or after winter. July and August are definately to hot to incubate eggs at room temp so it's a good thing to make me wait.
Are they the last clutch? The last clutch from Fat tails (as far as I've noticed) seems to take longer to hatch (no.14 or 15 I forget). This year I had an egg go over three months I think.
