Hi
if you seeing bloodvessels then eggs r fetile .
fungus if you see fungus on eggs then its not so good it can spread to other eggs .
most of people wil put them away ,but i have found a trick .
tree oil with emulgator so it solfing in water then with a qtip removing the fungus .
ok that part wil collor black but the babie wil hatch i have found that out dith it 2 times and they both hatched and it not spread .
only i dith the egg in a separete box alone .
if you use vermucilite then once a while take 1 partikel and put between youre finger and push then if drops come out the vermucilite it moist .
if not drops come out it to dry .
then you need to put some water in it very cently and not on egg
if it come on egg remove it with a papertowel r toiletpaper
now wating 60-80 days best is a lower temp and not to high .
byeeeeeee

I really wish you would have done your research before breeding these wonderful lizards. If you had properly researched this in full before breeding, you would know the answers to those questions, as they are very basic breeding questions. I dont mean to sound harsh, but this is exactly why I got out of the breeding business. Too many inexperienced people coming in and not knowing what they are doing, yet flooding the market. (rant finished).

However, I hope you have some good luck with them, b22 answered the questions at hand well. Good luck.

yeah....i can be like this guy at times....but TonyZ is an ok guy.

i think that your most important step to do in the next 7-10 weeks is to find prospective homes for these babies. I use a hovabator incubator....they are cheap and do the job. I put the eggs in containers with moist vermiculite. the containers i use are the disposable glad-lock kind with the tops on them but not sealed. about once or twice a week i spray water into the incubator and make sure there is water in the bottom. I remove the moldy eggs and the ones that collapse and throw them away.

Again, the most important step is to find homes for them now. It is much more humane and satisfying to freeze a batch of eggs then to give them to someone who won't take care of them properly.

oh yeah, if the eggs were just recently laid....get ready for the second clutch!
