blue beauty eggs and manual pipping

Posted by Ronda on July 22, 2001 at 21:02:54:

This is my first year breeding blue beauties and I have a question regarding their eggs. The clutch I have was laid the last week of May, and they've been incubating at approximately 82. I read somewhere that because of their unusually tough shells, blue beauties sometimes will not pip. Has anyone else encountered this? If I were to cut an egg now, and the snake inside is alive, would it live within the cut egg until the time that it would naturally be ready to pip? Am I just being impatient?

Thanks for any advice,
Ronda
