>>I have two out of three clutches of eggs. One clutch is king eggs, the other corn (in seperate hova-bators). The corn layed 21 smaller eggs and the king layed 7 large eggs. The king eggs look pretty good. One swelled up a bit, but is still looking nice. I have all the eggs half covered in moist perilite. I then have moist but not too moist) moss on top of the eggs. The temps are between 78-80. I do not have a humidity guage in there, but I keep the trays (below the eggs) filled with water.

>>I have noticed three of the corn eggs start to grow mold. I know mold is okay, but they smell. The eggs still look solid and white (besides the part starting to mold). I noticed a majority of the eggs have hair-like cracks in them. Just surface cracks. Kinda hard to describe, but kinda like old paint does when it dries out, before it peels. I was wondering if I put the eggs in the hova-bator too soon. They were kinda leathery/moist when I put them in. Freshly layed, They had not dried. The eggs are not drooping, sagging, and are still white. They are not yellowing and don't look bad to me.

>>Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. I want to do everything I can to get these little guys to hatch.

>>Or, am I just freaking out over normal stuff?

>>The king eggs did not do the cracking thing and they have not molded at all. Thanks for any feedback

>>-----relaxthats completly normal i use to just lightly rub the mold off.just sit back relax and what.
