Bredli eggs too dry to pip?

[jham66]

Hi,

Just checked on my bredli eggs, they are at day 56. Just wondering is the eggs on top are too dry. I know I can't do much to inflate them at this point, but should I mist them to soften the shell to aid the snakes to pip the shell?

They'll be fine, you wont have to do anything to them and they look just the way they are meant to. I think you're just being a worried mum, give it time and they will pip all on their own.

by the look of the pics , they might not be long till they hatch . [ thats just my opinion]

I candled them too. The orientation of the snake has changed from lying on the bottom to sitting along one side. I think one was also heads up and reacting to the light. Think it will be lights out from now on.....

It sounds as thou you need to be a little bit more patient,by the sound of it they shouldnt be far from hatching.Generally a week or so before eggs hatch they will dimple and the temperature rise a degree or two..Its normal..How many eggs,have they all survived since they were layed..

23 eggs laid, all have survived so far...... I have taken the set and forget approach, opening the container once a week to shake the condensation off the lid. The temp went up toward the end of last week, but has come back down a bit now. I know they are close, just don't want to get to this point and mess something up.......
