My female leopard laid several clutches last year with fantastic hatch rates. All of the clutches were basically treated the same and pips started around 95 days. I have a clutch in the incubator right now that is 10-15 days past due with no pips. The eggs look okay, chalked up, solid when candled, and some are even oblong shaped now, so I think they are viable. The only diffrence is the incubator temps are a few degrees (3 or 4) lower than before, in the 84-85 degree range. Would this cause the delay in hatching possibly?
It just doesn't seem right that she would lay so many good clutches and then one bad clutch.
Any opinions or experience with this situation?
