i posted about a month ago that my leo Cesar layed her first clutch. both were fertile except for one started to ooz yolk (i think) through the bottem, so I was going to cut it open but i decided to wait and see if it was really dead, it didnt start to mold or stink but it wasnt hard anymore, so i decided to open the egg up, i didnt want the baby leo to havea lot of problems in is life if it was still alive,when i cutit open there was a tiny about a inch and a half long baby leo, not alive... i just want to know if babies inside the egg that lets say hatched on apri 13, and i cut it open would it have had stripes on it?, because the little baby was white, no spots just black eyes.

i heard that it was unusual to have a young leos first clutch to both be fertile, that is a goodd sign right?

thanks

weird did something puncture the egg causing it too seep. Sounds as if the baby was underdeveloped yet. A normal babie should have had bands if it was close to hatching. I have an egg now that you can actually see the banding on the baby when candled. Sometimes the first clutch is infertile but not always. I would say 50/50 chance. Good luck with the rest of them

thanks.

the second clutch looks good, and the other egg looks pretty good, it should be due to hatch the begining of june hopefully.
