So of the 14 in this clutch, 4 were dead in the egg. I am wondering why. One possiblity is that the vermiculite was too wet. At one point I added water because I thought it felt too dry. I did not base that on any change in the condition of the eggs.
After adding water, some of the eggs swelled noticeably. Two of them split and leaked a little.
The final results:
Two eggs leaked: one hatched, the other died.
Two eggs grew fungus: one hatched (the first to hatch) the other died.
One egg grew MUCH larger than the rest, but did not leak: it died.
One egg attached to the fungus egg which hatched: died.
Kinda hard to draw any conclusions from all that. Any ideas?
