yup-- I did tilt it a bit to let the condensation run to the other end- which worked beautifully.... besides letting my eggs getwet!!! grrrr!!!

I was successful at removing the bad egg--- one of the worst things I've done in a looong time-- was interesting to see the giant solid yolk and a tiny tad-pole looking pink would-have-been snake. Kids got a science lesson out of it-- made everyone else sick.

Egg came off good- and I put a faux egg in its place-- folded some card-board up to support the top egg.

While i was fiddling with removing the bottom dead one- the bottom left egg dried up-- lost its "wet" look and is back to being white.

I made a juicy mess in the box while removing the old egg so I started with fresh perlite - slightly drier this time- Before I ended up with standing water at that one end which caused my problem i believe.


soooo---- I'm thinking they'll hatch in about 2 weeks and fingers crossed I get 3 granites
