Egg Question?????

LeoGeoKing Jan 13, 2004 02:20 AM

This morning one of my females laid two eggs. This was her first clutch ever. She laid them outside of her humid hide on top of her hide house. When I went to get them I noticed they were soft and felt like they were collapsing. I thought right off hand that the were infertile but I put them in the incubator anyways.I went to check again tonight and they popped back up.I pin lighted them and they are full of red. Is it possible these are fertile? They have sort of a yellow tint to them, if they were infertile would they still have red on the inside and have reformed so quickly like that? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

They were probably denting because it got too dry for them by the time you found them. Since you put them in the incubator with adequate humidity, they corrected themselves (which means that they're fertile). They should still stand a good chance of hatching provided all the conditions in the incubator are right. Good luck!
