Egg Coloration And Shell

Jumpinallday Aug 18, 2007 10:36 PM

I have a leo egg that should hatch in around 2 weeks. A couple weeks after it hatched you could definitly see the embryo developing and a month ago or so you could see it moving. The humidity in the hovabator has been ok and the egg was nice and full it is now turning yellow and the shell has lost its firness. Is the egg dead? Or does this occur sometimes? I know better then to throw it away but some feedback would be nice.
