Stupid Eggs Question

liquidsound Nov 15, 2005 08:23 AM

Is it safe to assume if one dents and molds that the other egg will do the same being that they came from the same mother?

I don't have any experience with breeding leopard geckos, but just from my own breeding experiences I would say know. One could very well be a bad egg where the others might be fine.

I had a pair of crested eggs, both of which I thought were infertile. One of them molden a lot, so I took it out. The other one had a tiny amount of mold on it, which I scraped off, just to see what would happen. The other egg hasn't hatched yet, but it hasn't rotted either, and its been a month.

Never think an egg is dead until it is!

It is not uncommon for 1 of the 2 eggs in a clutch to be infertile. The last 2 clutches my female laid, each had 1 infertile egg.

Well the egg had major mold on it and a big dent.. Thats the only reson I assumed it was dead. from my reading up on this that combo is a major tell tell sign.. Am I wrong? If so shoot me with S#*t and kill me for stinking.
