What's the norm on how long between egg clutches hatching? It's almost 24hours now. She hatched at 45 days though, could she be early? The other egg seems to be getting a pointy/bottleneck at one end-hatch soon? But it still looks good and fertile.

I've had eggs of the same clutch hatch a few days apart. 45 day incubation is fairly normal for males (88-90 degrees), but does seem a little short for a "she".

The first 2.4 weeks were at about a 83 degree temp before I got our incubator, then they were at a 86. I was so worried that I messed them up, but at least one hatched so far and the other still looks good. I'm at 86 for all future clutches to get m&f. I thought that was pretty norm for males too, but not with what I did, that's why I'm wondering if she's early? But she seems good size.

If she was early, she would likly have the yolk still attached to her belly.
I have had at the most 4 days between clutchmates. That was about two years ago. But one day is more common for me.

Sarah, my het from you laid two. I took a chance and figured since they were both from you I put them together. One was small and infertile the other huge, and though not firmed up real hard yet, but has viens, so here's hoping. I might put her back in with the albino for a few days.
