Hi Nick,

I incubate at 30 or 31C. Will have to check my notes for length of incubation. Shortest was 86 days normally quite a bit longer.

Cheers

Mark

Thanks Mark Smile

How are your adults getting on?
Do you keep them in trios? Cool

Thanks
Nick

I was incubating them at 31 degrees Celsius and it took 120 days before they hatched. The next clutches are due to be laid any day now!

The third and last egg started to discolour so today I cut it open and found a dead close to term,distorted baby with TWO HEADS. The back was heavily bent and the abdomen not closed.
This egg swelled more than the others and I think that it took in too much water and this caused the abnormal development.
So I have two perfect little ones, I am happy enough with them.
