trying to find a pic of fertile hognose eggs but to not much avail. my female has been laying eggs but 1 or two a day for the last few days. tehj total count is 7 but the eggs are a yellowish color. i was just wondering if that was normal coloration or ar eteh eggs supposed to be more of a whitish color. thanks

also if anyone has adult females for sale in teh socal area let me know. thanks again

Usually when they are yellow and dropped in ones and twos it means that they are infertile, BUT give them the benefit of the doubt and incubate them for a week or so, thye will collapse and go furry if infertile. The reason that i do this is that i have had yellow eggs hatch, both from a hognose and a snow honduran that always laid yellow eggs and they always hatched.

Here is my westerns clutch from this year... She had a total of 10 eggs, 5 yellow (that ended up molded and shrived up) and 5 firm bright white eggs (one of which ended up being infertile).. the 4 fertile ones are due to hatch any day now!

I put the yellow ones in the incubator along with the white eggs on the advice of many others who have hatched babies out of yellow eggs.
