My female panther laid a clutch on june 21st and I've been checking on the eggs every few weeks. Anyway, most died and now I have 6 left and until tonight I thought that they'd eventually die too. But I checked them with a REAL flashlight and they are indeed fertile!
Now, it has been 6 months since they've been laid which is a normal incubation time for panther eggs, but I have no idea when the eggs "decided" to become fertile. So who knows how much longer I have ahead of me (and how big a chance I have to screw up... eh).

Well, hopefully these little guys will hatch some day!

It usualy takes 8 months or soo depends on incubation temps, there are some signs, sweating eggs and a slight color change, they might even look a bit bigger to you. The time can change depends on many factors soo keep checking on them. So exciting, when my first clutch hatched I was skipping all day. lol
