Time to Hatch

Its been awhile since I wrote anything on here I had allot going on during the past few weeks. It has been 57 days since Feather laid her last egg. the egg has been incubating and getting larger for 54 days. It takes anywhere between 60 and 70 days to hatch these eggs.

Before and after the picture to the right was taken at the beginning 
of incubation on day 3 and the picture to the left was taken on day 57.

I incubated the egg on damp pearlite substrate to keep the humidity above 90% but keep mold from growing on the egg. The temperature in the incubator varied from 75 to 82 degrees F.

I'm very excited to see this egg hatch as well as see what color morph the new born will be.
