I thought that they would collapse if infertile, not postive though...

thanks and good luck on your sikore eggs. as soon as i get the money i will be getting getting some female sikores. just a question , what are your incubation temps and your humidity ratio? do you let them fluctuate like in the wild?i was just wondering because i do not keep my adults and eggs at steady temps and humidity.

Hi,
I've had good result with temp incubation from 20-24°C,otherwise youngs will be stronger if you can have a night drop to 16°C;also
really important is to avoid direct contact with water.
Regards,
Fred.

If eggs are bad females tend to know this and lay them soft and stuck together in the open. If they are burried and hard keep them. If bad after this they will grow mold...also you keep them too wet they will mold up too. They need high humidity but not wet. I keep my eggs, babies and adults at 70F all the time...the cage temp goes up to maybe 74F in the cages when lights are on. Hope this helps you
