The other egg still hasnt done anything- im worried its died in incubation. I candled it last night and can see a dark bit and the red vains and the bubble. Any advice, also how long do i leave it for if it doesnt hatch? Gutted as was so looking forward to my little one having a mate!

I'd keep with it and see what happens. By the sounds of it it sounds like its still alive. How long has it being incubating for now?

The best advise i can give you is leave it alone! if it hatches it hatches. I have over 15 red foot eggs in my incubator, i have not candled any of them, if they hatch they hatch.
After putting a hermann egg in the bin then 2 mins later changing my mind and putting it back in the incubator, few days later it hatched, i just leave them to it.

It sounds like it's still good to me too. It seems with the species that need long incubation times there can be huge differences in hatching times, even within the same clutch.
