This is a new thing to me! Most interesting.
I suspect the problem was with the female, though. Just a hunch. Her one good egg was well calcified, whereas the duds were sort of rubbery with basically no calcium on the shell. So I am going to try feeding her a more calcium rich diet ( even though she was getting the same diet as the other two females who did great)
A breeder friend told me that when the female lays slugs it is a problem with the male but if she lays regular size but dud eggs it is a problem with her. He also said this is common with first time females. ----- Bob
