Hello everybody, I have been reading this forum since October 2007.

I love how helpful everybody is to each other. I feel like you all are close friends. Now on to my problem.

I am new to the breeding thing. In the last 18 months I have been collecting as many morphs as my wallet, and my wife will allow. I tried my fist breeding and ended up with 5 eggs! (the only two big enough were het yellow ghost to normal) I was amazed. I got a hand me down fridge incubator that works great! Using heat tape, computer fan, and a Ranco. It's been a constant 89 degrees. On my 2nd or 3rd week the eggs collapsed quite a bit. I was scared but left them alone, checking weekly. Than I realized that I had no humidity. (I opted for the substrateless method) So I threw some plastic ziplock baggies over and shut the lid (6qt. sterilite)

I figured they were gone since two of them were molding. I left them in all this time and today I was gonna toss them. It's been 54 days. I cut one open just to explore (holding my breath because I didn't want to smell) and I noticed a baby ball in the egg. How can it develope if it's bad? So I screamed for my daughter (Izabell 9yrs old) to grab my camera. I took these pix. and as I held open the flap, IT MOVED!!! Holy Cow What do I do!?! I put them back and cross my fingers...

I only cut the top of one. (thanx to all you youtubers I learned alot about cutting)



Thanx for any input, Justin
