Help!
Well I just updated my 'Strange Egg' thread about half an hour ago and decided to candle the possible twin egg from the underneath as I have never tried this before, I picked up the egg and vermiculite was stuck to part of it so I just brushed it off with my finger and there is a face looking at me!! this is way too early, only 51 days today, I am guessing that even if this is only a single hatchling that it is still problem? help please

I'm not an expert, but my advice would be "don't panic and breath". I incubated my first Herman eggs last year and they both hatched at day 50, they are now both incredably robust hatchlings concidering that they were on 7g when they hatched.

Jesus! how scary! I've just read an article about early hatchlings and what to do if there is a very large egg sac sticking out, but seeing a face like that would freak me out.
Keep us updated! Karen

I cant tell yet if there is a large egg sack, but I must say that what I can see of the hatchling doesnt look that small, so maybe it is just one after all. I hope it stays sitting in the egg for a while

Sounds promising good luck with it. Hopefully it's a little further along than the rest. Could it have been layer before the other eggs?
