You might want to read the thread again Browns.
They gotta be close to crawling out,carpets and diamonds ive incubated at 31c were 53 to 56 days to pip,what are the time frames to hatch on average with darwins,from those experienced with the species,youve hatched clutches of darwins slatey how long did they take etc ?
Why is that,I have read the whole thread so what have I said that you think is incorrect?You might want to read the thread again Browns.
Breeding in captivity, we have marked success raising hatchies to adult, generation by generation our success is leading to the downfall of the genetic integrity of our charges, the least we could do is let hatching take its course to seperate some of the wheat from the chaff.
I know of several cases where people have lost entire clutches cause the snakes couldn't get out of the eggs, had they have piped them, they'd all be alive now. Just cause theres a fully formed snake in the egg and it hasn't hatched yet it doesn't mean it hasn't tried. In atleast one case the snakes had no egg tooth, and couldn't slice the eggs.
But saying that I never pip unless I've seen one head.
Zulu I breed Darwins only for 3 years now.
Moisture 50:50 vermiculite water.
Temperature in my incubator is balancing from C30 to C32 ( not to good thermostat. Heh.)
they hatch usually in 60 days. Last year the eggs have been much larger, and they hatched in 59 days.
Nicole...Can you see any visible egg teeth as yet?? I can't see any in the pics.
In one of the last pics,a hatchy's head is a fair way out yet still looks like a lot of yolk it needs to absorb.
Is this OK? Will it come completely out without absorbing the yolk?
