My female laid in sphagnum moss and there were brown blotches all over the white eggs. One was even half brown. They all hatched out and are very healthy and chubby.

I had a female lay in vermiculite last year and one that laid in her water dish this year (it was filled with damp aspen bedding) and the only eggs with brown were the ones laid in the sphagnum.

So I blame it on the moss. Still, no harm as they all hatched.
