Mold on eggs....help

tsusnakeguy May 24, 2010 12:13 AM

I have some cornsnake eggs. A couple are starting to get mold. Is there any way to save these eggs or atleast save the rest of them. All the eggs are connected so I dont know how to seperate them without messing up the rest of them. I could use any help.

you can use a dry soft paint brush to clean the mold off just dont roll the eggs over

Let me suggest this which came from a very knoweldgable friend of mine. I have just used it on a couple of my Ball eggs and so far so good. Take a cup like maybe a Dixie cup size and put water in it with just a few drops of bleach. You just barely want to be able to smell the bleach in the water, take a Qtip and dip it into the water bleach mix, dab the Qtip off on a rag or papertowel so it is just damp and brush it around or back and forth on the molded area and that tiny amount of bleach should be enough to kill the mold. You want to make sure you squeeze it good in the rag or towel because the idea is to just hit the top of the egg enough with the damp Qtip to have the bleach kill the mold without leaving a wet spot on the egg. Im sure open to more ideas though. Good luck Jay
