Incubation Duration

[Shinybeetles]

Hi, what's the longest time veiled cham eggs can go before hatching? Mine are 7 months old now, still pearly white, they are definitely fertile. The tempertaure dropped a few nights in a row down to 67/68 and I've since set them up in an incubator but I don't think it did them any harm as they have not changed in appearance and smell fine. Any thoughts?

Would you believe they are all hatching, soon as I posted the above! Does anyone know if you should sray the eggs when they are hatching (lightly) or just leave them alone?

Leave them alone and let nature take its path. Hope you got some money saved up, those green goblins eat ALOT.

So what is the current count? How many babies and how many eggs yet to hatch? Now the fun begins, babies are a good bit of work but they are sooo much fun to watch. Let us know how it goes. Any questions about how to raise the babies just ask. lots of us have been there.

Hi All,


There are 47 in total and all are currently hatching right now, heads popping out. Tonight I have had 7 hatch and start climbing! Yes it is rather a worry for one main reason, will I manage to get them all good owners? I hope so. Feeding them will be expensive but they tend to sell here in the UK for about 50/60 dollars, selling them is important as people who buy tend to want to look after them (I hope anyway). Here we go anyway!
