hello, my female layed her third or fourth set of eggs last night and now they are stuck together. both the eggs are level but they are stuck together running to about half the length of them. they look healthy and all but when i tried to get them apart i felt like i was gunna rip them. i seperated eggs befor but these were a little scarier.
so my question is, is there any danger leaving them together? i dont see one beeing as they were both layed level. the only risk i can think of is if one dies and starts to mold. please send me some opinions! thanks!

I have read that if they are stuck together when you find them it is best to leave them together in the incubator.

I have two eggs that are incubating right now that are stuck together. They both appeared to be good eggs upon laying but now only one egg is good. Is that a result of them being together? I dont think so but it could be. As far as mold or anything like that i havent run into it at all. Infact the bad egg looks as good as the good egg on the outside. I figure they hatch in the wild this way why not here. Also snake eggs are almost always that way and really no complications arize from them being so.

It should be fine. If one does start to mold, you can put some antifungal powder on it. If its close to hatching, that should keep it from spreading. As long as your incubation method is good, it should be fine and just not hatch.
