Moldy Eggs.

drako32186 Dec 06, 2003 07:12 PM

I'm incubating 2 eggs and they're really beginning to mold....what do I do to stop this? or do I just let it happen...? I'm guessing not. but I don't know. Thanks for any help.

Hey

How old are they and are they fertile you can determine firtilty but if there still white and if when you point a flashlight at them from 1/2 inch a way if they have veigns
if there young there probably just infetile but if infertile they will colapse. Until they colapse and your sure there dead take a moist Q tip and gently rub the mold off ive also heard of taking athletes foot powder and sprinkleing it around the vermiculite thats near the egg but ive just used a q tip method
mold means its to moist so do something to ease the moisture a lil bit

Hope that helped
Aaron

i think she had them around the 15th.... I'm not real sure. They haven't collapsed or anything yet, and look healthy, I'll check to see if I can see veins and let you know. Thank you sooooo much.
