leo only laid 1 egg

diegos_den Aug 14, 2004 05:53 PM

my leo finally laid today. but i only found one egg. i found it about five minutes ago and put it in the incubator. is it normal to only lay one? just confused. and what exactly does a fertile egg look like? this is obviously my first egg, any help would be appreciated.

From what I have read it is normal if this is her first clutch. This is normally due to the stress of the first clutch and they will only lay two the first time if they are in extremely good health.

Also a fertile egg is firm to the touch while a non-fertile egg would feel flimsy.
