The Hatch Window is an expected range of dates a Clutch may hatch within, rather than a single day.
How the range is formed
- The minimum incubation duration can define an earlier expected boundary.
- The maximum incubation duration can define a later expected boundary.
- The result is shown as the expected Hatch Window.
Example
This is only an example to illustrate the idea:
- Lay Date: June 1
- Incubation: 55–60 days
- Expected Hatch Window: approximately July 26–31
Actual values depend on the configured incubation period for the Species. Not all Species use the same number of days.
The Hatch Window is a planning estimate based on the information recorded in HerpClutch. Actual hatch timing may vary.
