candleing eggs.

levi987 Jan 23, 2007 11:53 PM

I've never incubated Leopard Gecko eggs but my female just laid, about when should i attempt to candle the eggs (if at all) if so i assume an LED flashlight so no heat goes through them....what should fertile eggs look like?
Thanks,
Levi

Check out that site helps a little on how to candle the eggs. It doesn't have to be an led light just need to be some sort of light to see if it's fertile or not!

Here's the method I like to use. leopardgeckobreeder.com/Care/eggs.html No need to pick up the egg and risk droping/turning, and because you're not shining directly into the egg you won't raise the temps inside the egg. It also doesn't take long to scan over many eggs quickly.
