Hi all,
Over the past couple of months my female Boyd's laid a number of eggs in the enclosure substrate. We had no idea she was gravid and it was only when we went to clean out their enclosure that we noticed some healthy and some not so healthy eggs. Of the heathy ones I still have two sitting in the incubator on vermiculite suspended over water. Thus far we have had one egg hatch (approx a week ago). One healthy bub down.
Problem now is the second egg looks absolutely cherry ripe to hatch but it has been approx a week since the first hatchy emerged.
I'm just seeking advice from those who have had experience with dragon eggs and in particular Boyd's Dragons as to whether this next egg should be pipped or not as by the looks of it she looks well and truly ready.
My hesitation is that I have heard NOT to pip dragon eggs.
Thanks all.
