The average is 120 to 160 days. What is your incubation temperature and how long have they been incubating?

Leopard eggs have been known to go over 500 days so anything is possible. If you can, try to take pictures of the eggs in a dark room while shining a torch into the egg. This should help tell if they are fertile or not.

Only egg number 2 is possibly viable. Can you take pictures with the torch shining in from the side on that one.

I would agree with Danny possible number 5 as well if you can get another pic with with the torch at the side that might help
