As sandy has said they should be fine as for how long they will take is about two weeks extra from what I have observed from eggs I have hatched at lower temps.
But they will only hatch if they are fertile

Hi guys,
Thought I would update.
The eggs I referred to in this thread unfortunately did not hatch,in fact I'm not sure they were fertile. There was just a yoke inside after 80 days? However,I am now on day 53 of my second clutch and one out of the four of my eggs looks fertile ( it has visible veins and a dark mass clearly visible when candled ) I am incubating at 30 degrees how long do you think these should take till hatching please

At 32c it take around 60 days to hatch, so lower temps will take longer. I only incubate at 32c so cant say how much longer:0(
