Is this the right way to incubate my chams eggs?

Hello I had a question. So if she laid them Oct 22/24 in how long will they hatch ,that way I take them out 20-30 days before the closet to monitor them closely?

Oh wow very informative
So by like what month should they be born. It varies right?

The length of time they incubate for before hatching is affected by the temperature you keep them at for one thing….so it’s hard to give an exact date.

Usually the eggs shrink, get “windows” in the shell, sweat just before hatching…so that can be an indication.

I wouldn’t take them out of the closet. I would leave them in the same place until they hatch…and if you remove the lid, remember, you will mess up the eco system inside…especially if you do it repeatedly.
Also…
There should then be a slit in one end of the egg after that. The baby can lay there with its head out of the egg for up to 2 or 3 days but some of them come out of the egg almost immediately.

Example of windows in an egg…

Ok I will keep the lid on at all times. The kid has no holes but it is a squamata SIM container so it has enough air to circulate I Believe
 
You can take the lid off for a very short period of time once in a very long while…just make it as short a time being off as possible…like under a minute.
