These eggs are driving me nuts!!
At about 10 days incubation, one egg in a clutch of 12 came up with fuzzy mold and a bit of dark mold. I've been cleaning it with a bit of Listerine as the mold reappears. I think the problem there was a really thick clump of moss that held too much moisture. I was concerned about my other clutch of eggs, so I dried out the moss a bit and added more ventilation. They started denting two days ago! Today my beardie eggs are collapsing (never happens and I've been breeding those for 10 years). What the heck!! The beardies egg I can deal with because I have more experience there. This is only my second season with corn snakes, so I'm not so sure. Last year was textbook with no problems.
Here's my set-up...Inside the incubator is 83.8 degrees and 43% humidity. The beardies are on vermiculite, but the corns are in moss. The moldy eggs have been dried out a bit, but I still see condensation inside the box. I moistened the moss for the collapsing corn eggs, but some are still dented, no condensation in that container.
