I have finally discovered a freshly laid clutch of eggs this morning! (Yippee!).. and since they were laid in that Forest Bedding stuff in the humid hide they are kinda dirty... is it nessessary to wash the eggs? (they have that mulch stuff all over them).. or will this help the egg absorb the moisture if I leave it on them??

Thanks,
Trevor

I would just put them in your incubating medium and let them dry and harden first. Then a lot of the junk will fall off by itself, and you can GENTLY brush it off at that time, if you wish. It doesn't have to be perfectly clean at all. But unless they are like mudballs, I would worry too much.

Don't wash them, though. That would not be good.
