Matt, did you get the e-mail I sent you? The eggs need to be pipped at 100 days. Until someone has the luxury of producing repeated and reliable clutches this needs to be done. Obviously something is amiss in captive incubation but w/good clutches being so far and few this will increase your chances of healthy hatchlings. Even w/pipping I lost two fully formed neonated that had "drowned" full term. Bump up the humidity a bit as well as your temps -though I've never even touched an egg after moving them to the incubator so I can't comment on the ensuing hardness you've described.
My F1 babies are almost 3' now and are a world apart from their wc imported parents - though just as mean! I can't wait to breed these gems to see if its easier to get 100% survival! Bill
