Hi Everyone,
Thank you in advance-I am desperate. I have hatched seramas before but this time I have issues. Today is day 21 (these were shipped eggs as a side note). I have at least a half dozen eggs in lockdown in my Brinsea Eco. Temps have been at 100, humidity 30-50% and at lockdown 50-65%. All viable on day 18 lock down. I candle my eggs at day 10 and 18 and hand turn until day 18. Air cells beautifully positioned.
Today is day 21. I tried to assist 2 to hatch. I have attached pics. I am so upset/confused. They appeared 'shrink wrapped' but did have a much bigger yolk sac and more vasculature than I would expect. They both passed (I used a small amount of coconut oil to keep the membrane moist/intact versus a small air hole and when they passed, I opened the egg shell/membrane completely-they were positioned completely to hatch).
I guess my confusion is they appear shrink wrapped but do not look ready to hatch yolk/vascular wise. I need advice, please, I am such a worrier and never want to do harm. Thank you in advance.
