im so chuffed. Its day 107 of incubation and my nigriceps are venturing out of their eggs. I had 3 eggs, I cut tinyslits in them on day 98 sothey could get ut of the eggs, as last time. only 2 out of 3 actually made it out of the eggs. On day 105 I used Karl Greens technique and cut the tops off the eggs to ensure they could definately get out as Boigas are notorious for not making it out of the eggs. Two were alive and one fully formed, but dead, so Im glad I cut them open when I did. Now two days later, both are venturing out of the eggs. Unfortunately Ive left my camera at work. But I will take some photos tomorrow. I will probably keep them as Im working towards producing F2 generation captive bred Boigas of as many boigas as I can.

Thankyou.
Approx 28-29C, kept in vermiculite, quite humid conditions, half buried. Twice the eggs started to dry out, so I decreased the airholes on the tub to raise humidity, which seemed to work.
