How long is too long???

[richardrojas]

I have in the incubator 2 eggs that have been incubated at 82-83 for 63 days now. I remember seeing a thread last year where the person just open the egg and the baby was complete developed inside and was doing fine. I just want to know when it will be safe to do such thing or how many days would you wait.

Thanks

JUST WAIT!!!
I have seen so many people pip the egg out of impatience, it can kill your bebe gecko!
At 82-83F, it will likely take longer...even then some won't come out of the egg for up to 80 days...I wouldn't worry unless they turn moldy or smell fiercely awful.

Give 'em time, your girls will get here!

I know the thread you mentioned, that was a loooooong-time leo breeder, and it was an amazing, once-in-a lifetime sort of image.
Please don't try to replicate it.

Exactly. The nose doesn't lie. It will let you know when you have something cooking that's dead.

I did 82* and it took 75 days. Let nature take its course, please.
