Day 106 .......
I managed to get some pictures of egg 6. You can clearly see the hatchlings head in the middle and two front legs.

Hmmmm, you can clearly see the hatchling so personally I would live it longer.... I think it was Terry (if not someone else very knowledgable!) that said that if theres a baby in it, it won't explode! So I would say let it ride, you've got nothing to lose but everything to gain :D

well firstly if it has died whats the rush to open the egg.if it is still alive it will have a large retained yolksac so dont encourage it to hatch.if it is alive and the yolksac has been absorbed and for some reason it cant pip ,then it will be scrambling away at the inside of the eggs which you can clearly see.if you raise the humidity it will either pip and then you wil have the problems with a retained yolksac or suffocate so i dont really advise that.is the space beneath the hatchling still orange if so then it isnt ready yet.i would give it more time and just keep checking it for movement,this might put your mind at rest.

Hi Julia. I don't think you would see veins at this stage. I honestly would leave it alone. Once the hatchling is ready the orange underneath should disappear. The egg will be solid black. What temperature and humidity is the egg at? Fingers crossed. Just remember Legs 11 was 119 days old and I had forced him out. NOT Recommended. :oops: As he clearly has poor eyesight. Apparently the eyes are one of the last things develop.

Ok, Its been a week. Would the hatchling of grown much? Doesn't look like anything has changed from when I last looked..
I'm not in any hurry to open or switch it off.. Just wondered what sort of change I'm expecting to see after a week.. If any!?
