My irian laid her eggs on March 25, just got around to getting the pics online. Here's hoping for eight hatchlings!

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper stored up acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched tv. And then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus stole all his acorns, and he got a race car. Is any of this sinking in?

Mine had 16. 5 were immediate slugs, and 2 damaged. 2 more became bad, and 2 more underneath were slugs. 5 left, appear to be healthy, and are in contact with bad ones. The usual rule is that bad eggs do not efect good eggs, and so far that's true. This was her first clutch, and 5 would be fine

This was my girl's first clutch too. While they all looked good, a few on the bottom have become dark grey. I was going to separate these from the rest but so far they don't seem to affect the other eggs. Someone told me to separate but still incubate them as they could still hatch. The egg on top of the mass is still pearly white and I'm pretty sure that one will hatch. The darkened ones are on the bottom of the clutch and I think it was due to contact with perlite causing drowning, as I'm now being told there should have been an egg crate between the mass and the perlite.

Here's hoping for 4-5 hatchlings!

I use vermiculite, and it's never wet enough to cause drowning. Some will go bad, it's natural. I wouldn't try to separate any after more than a day or two....it can damage the good ones. Good luck.

So I should leave the dark ones attached to the clutch? Easier than trying to separate, wasn't looking forward to doing that.
