To Cut or not

[W.T.BUY]

Hi all just checked my incubator and my eastern beardie eggs have not hatched yet. I've kept them on a constant 28 degrees C. And its been 73 days. Last year they hatched 64 days at 29 degrees. there has been no sign of sweating or collapse. And i can see a fetus inside. Last year they collapsed 7 days prior to hatching. Do you guys reckon i should cut 1 or 2 open to assist or just leave them as they are?

please post reason why as well thx

i recon you should cut so that you know how they're coming along and so that the 1/2 u cut have an easier time getting out of the egg

imo if it was ment to happen it was ment to happen
if it doesnt they wernt ment to hatch

 

[wiz-fiz]

what does imo mean?

 

[missllama]

in my opinion

Leave thems alone , if you can see stuff in the egg I am sure it will come out sooner or latter!

they're most likely dead. Candle them, you should see fully formed dragons. Now harm in piping them now, except you'll let the smell out

sorry bout quality were taken in a hurry to see what you guys think.

If the eggs look good, I advise you leave them. If they are dead they are dead and opening one won't help, however if they are alive opening one will only lessen it's chances of survival. It would be very very odd for a whole clutch of beardies to die full term if the eggs look OK. Hatchling draw in the yolk just before hatching, without it they won't thrive

missllamathuen I was just following advise. no need to get all angry.

 

[missllama]

yea well there was more then one suggestion there only one person said cut and imo u took the wrong one. owel cant be changed now.

 

[missllama]

and codered didnt say cut them he said candle them...

the only person who told u to cut is someone who doesnt and hasnt ever owned a reptile
even the poll is showing a majority saying to leave them there was no point in a poll if u wernt going to listen to what people thought

You're not supposed to remove them from the egg, just cut a slit.
