Egg questions, 2

First, does this look like a fertile egg?

Second, why does it look like this? What am I doing wrong?

Yup, the second one is definitly infertile. I don't know that you're doing anything wrong. I have a female that dropped 5 sets of infertile eggs this year to a proven breeder male. I've heard some rare females won't drop any fertile eggs the first year, but produce great the second year... who knows why.

HAHA sorry... the two pics look so different I thought it was a different egg. Yeah it appears infertile, and like I said, it happens. I'd say give her two breeding seasons and if she doesn't drop any good eggs it looks like you have a pet for the remainder of her life =)
