Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hey; haven't been here in a while due to a busy senior year in highschool. I'm off to college to study biology and I'm excited for parasitology and herpetology.
Here is my last clutch before college, from the same female that gave me a clutch a few years ago. She escaped for 8 months after that clutch and came back and gave me a healthy 5 huge eggs.
The 5th egg, which I saw extending from her body, seems to have 3 spots; they look to be soft spots. I have seen eggs hatch that have had many of these (whole clutches even) and that have been covered in fungus. I've never had soft spots or fungus, so I'm posting here. I remember one remedy for soft spots was liquid bandage? I heard alot of success with this. Any new innovations? Any overall suggestion? I hadn't seperated the eggs, for I thought she'd be laying a sixth. Tell me what you think from the pictures and I'd love to hear any advice. Sorry for the poor, over exposed pictures.

Wrong pictures, what else is new.

wow.. that was wacky! i was looking at your first 3 pics (the vivarium pics) looking for eggs and thinking i was going blind..

All of those eggs look fine to me and i don't think that spot will be an issue.. I have had much worse looking eggs hatch out with no porblems at all.

good luck!

Yep they look fine to me

I assumed they'd hatch fine, but I thought I'd check in anyway. I've seen eggs hatch that are fully encased in orange/green mold. Seeing a picture of a snow coming from that...for some reason it was a shocker. The spot looks a bit harder, and slightly indented (or just kinked a bit; probably from drying/contracting).

The lid to my incubator is white and light can penetrate it a bit. I have a piece of construction paper over it, but I think it isn't so pitch dark in there. I've incubated under the same conditions, but should I somehow darken it more? Has anyone had a differ in results from dim to pitch black in incubation?

Thanks all who responded,
