When did it pip? It can take over 48 hours to go from pip to zip. Don't be alarmed if he stops for a few hours. Hatching is a lot of work and they need to take a break to rest before they keep going. As long as humidity is stable and you aren't opening the bator he should have no problems hatching. Good luck!

Bump the humidity to 60% for starters. When was the last time you candled?
