My last egg is on 98 days. What's the longest time an Ibera egg has taken to hatch?

I have a feeling I know what she'd say. Leave it till it blows or cracks !

Just wondered what the Longest time was. I'm not sure but I think Gail said Legs was 111 or 117 days.

Do Ibera lay more than one clutch in a season ?

i have never kept any female ibera so can only guess .im sure i heard they lay two clutches .really need to ask Sandy.
i think your correct about Sandy's advice on the eggs though.

Hi Julia.

Tilly laid two clutches of eggs last year, but hasn't laid any at all this year. Legs 11 was 119 days when he hatched. And as I have said before, if I hadn't sprayed his egg (which I would never do again) he would have taken longer than that. Does your egg look as if it has a hatchling in it? Can you post a picture of it at all? We may be able to see if there is anything going on.

Gail

Hi Gail, this egg was a couple of weeks later chalking than the others. Everything seemed to be growing fine , just abit behind the others .. But looking the last couple of weeks, there doesn't seem to be much difference in size if any!! At one point a few weeks ago, I could see viens.. But now I don't think i can ..
I could take a picture... But get this !! I'm rubbish at taking them of eggs in the incubator.. What's peoples secret to taking a clear picture?

It really is no good asking me about photographs Julia. I am awful at taking them. LOL. You need at least 3 hands when it comes to taking a photo in incubator. You could try lying the torch at the side of the egg. Leaving two hands free for camera.
