The first 2 pics are of a hatchling who I was surprised when i saw him. His egg was almost as dented as the egg that is beside him in the pics. The egg started turning brown and dented in horribly but he still hatched.:main_thumbsup:

The second two pics is of the hatchling that come from the egg in the first 2 pics. :shocked2: If thats not a horribly dented egg then i don't know what is. I was even more surprised when he came out then the first hatchling. I thought for sure it was dead. It dented a week before it hatched and 3 days before the other egg started denting.

I didn't freak out (or atleast not too much) when they started denting and just let them cook. The point of this is just relax and leave it alone. Just because you think its dead and it looks dead doesn't mean it is. If its dead and it cooks longer then you just got a really cooked dead egg, no loss! If its alive and you freak out, you just might be the reason it dies.

The last pic is just of another little hatchling, a SHTCT, that i really like his white X on his head even though it will disappear.

Hey Justin,
Thanks for the reassuring post! How early did those eggs start denting? Were they dented the entire incubation period? They're beautiful hatchlings, by the way! Congrats!

Thanks Maia! I am proud of the little guys. The first two are a SHTCT x High Yellow and the last one is a SHTCT X Ghost.

The first one that hatched dented 3 days before and the second egg that hatched dented 7 days before hatching. The incubation temps where 84.7-95.5 and it took #1 46 days and #2 48 days.
