Bad news 1 of 4

Well only 1 out of 4 eggs have made it so far from my monster female red blood.The first guy came out but died 3 hours later, he was dragging something big and hard it was weird.One egg had a few slice marks so I helped open it up but I was too late, he had already died.So after thinking about that I opened the other two and came out this morning to find the third guy and the biggest of all had came out half way and was dead.He looked perfect w/ the right sac attatched.The fourth guy is still living in his egg, so I'm hoping now to atleast get one guy.Poor little guys they looked just like dads markings.Well first time experience hatching eggs, what a disapointment.Hopefully this next time will go better.

Sorry to hear this. I had something like that happen to me with Chondro eggs a few years ago. I had around 8 come out and die. Very sad thing to see.
