Okay. So i candled last night and they were full eggs, but i didn't see any movement... So today I went to lock down and saw that there was no water in the incubator troth!!! The humidity was between 27-30. OMG. So i filled both troths up as I went to lock down. I do really hope that we have some success.

Should i worry that there was no movement in the eggs? I'm wondering if they were just sleeping to get ready for their "hatch."
I really forgot to add water after i set the eggs. I filled it up prior to putting the eggs in but i forgot to add water as the incubation went along....

Then I'd say that all you can do is wait and see.

If u haven't put any water in since setting the eggs then the humidity for a majority of the time has been around 30% give or take and if u filled the water at lockdown basically u did an unintended dry hatch which IMO is better than a regular hatch and I wouldn't worry about no movement at that time they are large and really don't need to move much just hang tight and see what happens

Oh. Yeah I guess i did an unintended dry hatch. I put everything into lock down this morning around 11:30am. I just checked it a few minutes ago (5:35pm) and saw that one egg was rolling a bit on it's own..... excited. The humidity was up at 65% and the temp is at 102. Eeeek.

I also discarded 5 bad eggs. Meaning they had no veins what so ever and didn't progress. ..
