By the way, congrats with the eggs!
Found my first eggs of the season today as well. Underwoodisaurus milli eggs that is
lol
Well, they are perfectly white. I have 2 other eggs in the inc already that appear to have some sort of mold on their outside. There is no smell and they aren't collapsed. Should I wipe that off?

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

If they still look good, I would leave them in the incubator...I've seen some bad eggs hatch...

I'm always quite laid back with eggs. Almost every egg gets a chance with me. Even when I'm completly sure they aren't fertile. I just really don't want to dispose any eggs that might have been viable...

Just as with my chameleon eggs at this moment. When laid, they where all yellow when I candled them. After a month, they still where yellow when candled...Nou, after almost three months, they are starting to turn pink and red when candled...So they defenitly are fertilized...It just takes so .... long for them to develop...

Kyle, I agree with Sjoerd. You must presume they are fine and incubate them in the normal way. They are tougher than you might think!

No need to apologise Shannon.... this is normally a fun thread... It is I who has spoiled it recently! 'Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible'!
