these r my first leo's got 2 eggs from there cage today i think they have been in there for a week in there moist hide. they fill like rubber they dont smell or anything it is around 85degr in the room there in all the time do you think there good going to put them in my inc. to c if they hatch all i found them when i was moving the peat moss around in there hide does it matter if they got turned over because i'm not sure what way they were laying thanks for any help

well best thing I could tell you is put them in and hope. Usually a rubbery feeling,looking egg is not fertile but put them in anyway and don't take out till they are really bad looking. Moldy,shrunk in or colapsed.

if they r infertal will they fill like rubber when they r first laid well anyway thanks all does it mater if they get turned

yea, they should kind of harden up kinda get like a stale marshmellow they will dent but will be kinda chalky looking basically dry. Don't let them fool ya though I have had eggs that I never thought would hatch that hatched and did great. Oh, sorry I forgot to answer the turning part. I don't myself think it hurts for about 24 to 48 hours after that or once they are in the incubator the nucleus attaches itself to an area at the top of the egg where it can breath through the shell with osmosis.

Yeah, after they start developing, they drown if you turn them.
