Day 12 update added to the first post.

So what's the progress???

One egg made it to lock down. I'm now on day 22 no pip no zip no movement.
:/

Eek. That's not promising. Any incubator malfunctions? When did you candle and not see any movement?

 

[allsummedup]

It seems to hover around 37.0 degrees instead of the ideal 37.5 but if I set it at a higher temp it spikes the temp.
Also when adding water the eggs rapidly cool I have to find a better way to do the humidity.

I will be doing this experiment again but ill be buying a temp/humidity thermometer and working out a new way to do humidity.

I candled on day 18 and it was to dark for me to see weather or not there was movement. I've decided ill go to day 23 before I open the bator and crack it open to see what's up.

I take that back ladies and gentlemen we have an external pip!
I repeat we have an external pip!!!
Gah my first egg is hatching!

 

[thomp119]

Yay!

Still just the external pip :/ getting a little concerned.
