Default please help asap

I have 2 fertile hermans eggs they have been in incubator now for 50 days . When i candle 1 of the it is very dark on top but the bottom quarter is clear like an air bubble . What does this mean will he hatch soon .

The second egg when candled it is very dark one end and the other end is like a bubble and there is 1 vain visible .

Do they sound ok and they are both at 32.5 temp will they hatch soon?

Try & get some pictures with a torch shining in, so people can take a look for you. Obviously handle carefully & don't turn. If they have been in for a while & you now cant see through them that's usually a good sign

When I hatch my tortoises at that temp, it takes around 60 days, so I would say a few more days to go.
Fingers crossed for your eggs:0)
Sometimes there is some fluctuation in temps too.
