This is my first go at breeding balls, my female laid 11 eggs today and they are currently in my incubator. The question I have is, I candled the eggs and all 11 have nice red veins, the weird thing is, they all have spots on them that seem a little thinner than other parts of the egg. I have photos but they aren't very good and you can't really see what I'm talking about. There were three roll outs and the one is a little caved in right now(just moistened the vermiculite a bit more so hopefully it perks up by morning), the weird thing is, you can see the veins in this egg without even candling it. I have searched and searched and can't seem to find any accounts of a ball having thin eggs? Other than that they seem pretty healthy, all big and heavy and have nice veins in them. Also, only a few of them actually stuck together, I didn't think this would be any sort of issue though.

Just re-read this and it's a bit confusing, to clarify, the eggs have spots on them that are the normal opaque white, but between these spots of white there are "thinner" spots where you can see the pink of the inner egg in normal lighting conditions, normal or something to worry about?
