First eggs

Rick247 Apr 08, 2007 06:45 PM

This is my frist try at breeding. I was hopeing somone could tell me if this is normal for ball eggs to look like this. They where laid on 3/18/07 here is that pic.

Here is one from today. 4/8/07 Three weeks old.

I have the snake keepers dvd. It says some crumbling is ok. I also read that my dirt should be able to hold form yet break apart easy which it does. I have been keeping the probe on the egss between 88.5 and 89.5. I leave a differnt one on the inside of the fridge outside the foam box that reads 91 too 92.

Could it be from opening the box to often. I check on them about once a day.

Poor some warm water in the corners. That should up the humidity or you can put a bowl of water in the corner. Make sure the lid is on tight. Good luck with them.

Thanks guys. I poured some water in the coners. I was afraid of that. Anyone else ever run into this.
