Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I was in the gecko room when my 2 year old son decided to help daddy. He reached up on my egg shelf and pulled my late dec/ early january egg tray down. 24 eggs in the floor. I picked them up and placed them in a secure location, but im sure they were turned upside down and end over end. So my question is what now? My wife says trading in the baby is not option. Im going to still incubate them, but im sure they are going to go bad. Any help is appreciated.

Hi I have done this before and it works. When you put the eggs in the incubator the first time mark them with a felt marker. Just a small line for one end to the other will do. It also works for newly hatched babies who love to dig. If you go to Albey ?Too Cool" Reptiles I believe she has a page showing the same thing. Hope this helps in the future. Cross your fingers.

Child gate in the door to the reptile/incubation room will help prevent any more accidental spilling of eggs. I wish you the best in the eggs incubating completely, The odds are still good some will hatch.
