Egg Help AGAIN! SOOO Frustrated

niddy May 19, 2009 01:40 PM

OK Guys...getting sick of this. We just cut open 2 moldy eggs. Both had FULLY DEVELOPED beardies in them! I'm sensing that this is the case with MOST of my eggs. (on our like 6th clutch in 2 springs)Haven't had even ONE successful hatching, though they grow and grow right up to 60-70 days!

Soooo frustrating! How are they developing into full babies, then just die before hatching???

Please, guys...sooo sick of killing them. I have a different clutch that are on day 50, and are starting to sweat and dimple like all of the previous ones (humidity is fine, as always)

PLEASE HELP!

There seems to be a few different ways that work. I don't know why yours doesn't. You know my number. Call me and we'll micro manage what you are doing.

What are your temps, and you do have the eggs properly ventilated, right? They use up more oxygen as they grow...so if the humidity is too high, or the temp is too high (which will increase oxygen need) they will suffocate right before hatching.
