Sadly the two eggs did not look as promising at the 60 day mark. Really disappointed. Also disappointed with my incubator. My Reptibator was not accurate. I think the next time I would like shoe box. Lady always lays in winter so it’s hard. I hope to take some bit of knowledge and make D.J. (Duckster Jr.) some time.

So very sorry. Be sure to use a humidity and temp gauge other then the one that comes with the incubators. The ones with the incubators are not accurate.

I'm so sorry!

I've never tried anything like this, so I'm curious...what doesn't look promising? What is (or isn't) there when you candle them?

Well I’m not 100 percent sure. They are heavy. Idk. Still being cared for. Temp. Never exceeded 89 and kept it closer to 86. It’s hard. Duckster is old but lives to find lady and mate. Each occupies half of the spare room. Supervised visit on the occasion.

The search keeps him going. Active and alert. I had him 30yrs. Plus he was no juvenile when I got him. I think he was wild caught from Petco. But he loves attention.

Eggs had a bubble at the 30-40 day mark. I I’ll check again. With a better light soon.
