Ok guys,
I am going to keep you all in the loop with how the eggs are doing in the SIM container with the celulose substrate we are testing... We hope to make the substrate part of our product list...
Anyway, in the last update I said that 8 of the 12 eggs looked good and the rest were no good... With that being said, I never toss eggs until they are obviously no good... I wnt from 8 good eggs to now being up to 10 good eggs...
As you will see in the photo below I circled the two bad eggs in red... You will see one egg circled in blue... This was one of the ones I thought was no good... It started to grow a bit of white fuzz on the yellow tip the first 5 days into incubation and was not showing a vascular system... Instead of tossing it, I figured I would clean the mold off and put it in a dryer SIM container... It did not regrow any mold so I figured I would candle it to see what was going on... 2 days later there was clearly a circulartory system growing... The egg is doing great...
So we are now 19 days into incubation and I have since removed the two bad eggs and fed them to my dwarf monitors... LOL...
The remaining 9 in the original SIM are doing great and growing and so is the 10th egg in the dryer SIM container... I will do another update in about 10 days or so with some new photos...
Here is the photo
