Have you ever seen this one? No real "odor".. not like the others anyway!

It just 'blew it's top'.. how you see it is how I found it in the incubator. Although I didn't mark them.. (now I have) I'm guessing this is from late October.. so it isn't fertile. I found one yesterday exploded.. that had a 3/8" embryo in it! Could it be too humid.. although I don't spritz them.. I do have small water dishes in the incubator.. and temps. in the mid to low 80's range.. now. These "earlier" eggs have gone thru several temp. changes due to thermo malfunction in 'older' incubator. However 2 have managed to hatch and are doing well. The first has a little "wrinkle" in it's carapace.. maybe from high temps (?)

Wattaya think???

Terry
