Ackie egg help

[Charliewaffles]

Hi was just trying to get a bit of advice on ackie eggs that I have incubating at the moment, my question is that I have had them incubating for around 60 days and they have started to dimple, is this because they are going to hatch soon or lack of water in the substrate? I have the incubator set up at 30 degrees and high humidity, please help

I just been researching and 90 days seems to be the norm for incubating time so not sure whether to wait it out or add a damp paper towel

Hi Charlie,

60 days is a bit soon, so prob more likely due to dehydration. If you do decide to add water, then I would advise to do so with great caution as adding too much can cause the young inside the eggs to drown.

Can you give some more information on your incubator setup?
