Default will they ever hatch?

Can anyone give advise, my eggs are 66 days old today but are not hatching yet! They have been in an incubator at 30 degrees which I have just dropped to 27 on the reptile shops advice.
This is my first ever time so am I worrying about nothing? They have all been candled and have veins and black shadows in. They seem to have gone a bit softer and have a ’rubbery’ feel to them.


If anyone can tell me how to put a picture on here I can post one

If they are beardie eggs that sounds fine as it can take an average of 50-70 days give or take but most hatch around 60-65 & if they gone rubbery & a little sunken in then its sounds like they could hatch VERY soon If that helps ?? If you are that worried then you may want to slit one open to see but thats a last resort i would give it at least another 24-48 hours first !!!

i wouldnt slit them open personaly....leave them alone as you may kill a baby thats not ready if you open them...nature will do the job intended!! they will hatch just give them time..if they were dead/dud they would be all crimped in by now , some times eggs just take longer..my day gecko egs shoild have taken 35 days but instead they took 47 days..and my cresty eggs were 1.5 weeks over due, and then some hatched early next time, just make ssure you check them every day, dont fiddle with them or keep opening the tub, ensure the humidity is stil there but dont suddenly go changing the temps and humidity suddenly as this is what can upset hatchlings and some times even kill them. just keep a very close eye and they will pop out when u least expect it! u wait and see. xx fingers crossed for you hun. x
