    Oh I’m not trying to crack the one viable egg. The ones we opened last night were very obviously not advancing while this little guy is. We could see it moving inside the shell.

But when we did the inside membrane was sooo TOUGH! It...

    Incubation fail

    Thank! I looked them up and their ship dates are a little too far out thank you so much for your offer!! I was able to find someone nearby with a hatch set around the same day, so hopefully by the end of the week we’ll have a whole brood full.

    My little family and I are currently living with my parents. My dad and my daughter jumped the gun and ordered a set of hatching eggs- unbeknownst to me. And then of course, my dad went away on a business trip for 2 weeks, leaving me to figure out what I was doing. we get the eggs and it was a...
