How long till they hatch?

I cant find my book, but I have Burm eggs that are incubating at 88-90 degrees and are on their 53rd day today (the 16th) and I notice they are lightly indenting and it's definately not from humidity level, so I know its a sign of hatching. SO how long before they start to hatch is it that they start to indent?

I haven't bred my burms yet, but from what I've learned the eggs can take 60 to 80 days to hatch. I don't know about the time frame regarding the "dimples". I am curious though, keep us updated!

yeah, im working with the shorter time frame, that is why I keep the temps at 88-90. I think I have read that a week or two before hatching they start to dimple, but I am wondering if amyone has any more accurate experiences.

I have also heard 55-70 days. Shouldn't be too much longer, good luck! Hope you get plenty of babies, what are the parents? I wouldn't worry too much about the dimpling, if the eggs still look good and aren't emitting any bad odor they should be fine.

Parents are up albinos. Actually I am selling them right now, I am moving soon and I wont be able to take them. The largest I will keep is a bci, so my plan is to swiitch to them and ball pythons.
