my pancake egg

[african cake queen]

hi all, just alittle nervous about my 3 eggs. the pancake cake is 168 days old. the other 2 should hatch after the first one. has anyone had a egg hatch out of order? could that happened? can still see the baby and veins in the last egg. the other 2 i can't see thru at all.just a nervous mother, i guess. 'lol'

Yep I have it happen all the time, with various species. It's a complete guess really. If they are within the days-weeks hatching you can always add a boost in humidity to aid in pipping. I do this sometimes to sulcatas. Kinda as simulated "spring"

Get use to it. Patience is best with tortoises. Especially incubating them. At least you don't have to wait a year for Pyxis or chilensis like I do. Ha talk about patience.
