No. It's still as it was...still fat and full looking but not healthy white. No indents. All 1 off white color. 77 days old.

The last surviving egg is still unhatched and 84 days old. It still has its full shape, feels heavy if i lightly pick it up (i dont expect it to hatch so i cant harm it anymore than its already been through...) i barely touch the egg but every now and then i slowly lift it for weight comparisons... I lift it less than a half inch high from its spot in the nest. Still hope because its still a full heavy egg. We will see though...

Bad news....egg did not survive. The heating pad underneath did not help it...it...i cant say what it did because i feel too guilty but you can get the idea. The egg got too warm. So this egg experience is over and i will focus on my Allen (adult box turtle).
