They never did ever really get white like I've known eggs to get in the past. Im cooking these for a buddy and there was never an indication that she was gravid, so this totally caught him by surprise. The female dropped all these in her tank on the glass bottom, and we got them in a temporary situation for about 24 hours on a wet paper towel in a shoebox. Then I got the eggs and xferred them to the vermiculite. At the time of xfer, all the eggs were still yellowish, slimy and stinky. As I picked them up, I noticed some had hard nodules inside them, like where the embryo might be, but it was really hard.
So I stuck 'em in my room and watched em. They were dropped on the 13th or something, and this is how they look now. I tried to ut back on the humidity so I cracked the shoebox open last night, so now they seem kinda wrinkled, but are colored the same. Was there some kind of calcium deficiency or some other problem here? Should I write them off and trash them?
