reflex21089 Jan 31, 2004 02:19 PM

I finally got some eggs from my stripes...i know its from the male pictured and im pretty sure the female pictured is the mother her tail got skinny and the other still looks the same...so for the question...when i found the eggs they were perfect except a little dry to the touch but it was semi moist in the humid hide but the moss was kind of dry, do you think they will still be ok if their not collapsed? thanks a lot and be ready for pictures when they hatch !!

Male...

Female...

They sound fine. If they are dry or slightly dented from being dry try putting a moist peice of paper towel on them overnight. Thats what I do and they usally hatch out fine if they are fertile.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi

I agree with Randy S., but he said to use that wet papertowel idea only if the eggs have started to dent. If so, do what Randy suggested, but just overnight and yes put them in the incubator.

Take Care, TLB
