My friends egg is doing well buy my is turning a light yellowish brown tint and its hettin harder in the middle, almost liek the middle is hard boiled and the shell is loose aroudn it.

Hope you aren't one of the countless others i offended. Letkeys leos, Spoonful of Geckos, are the only two i now of in the area. I have had females that produce one fertile egg at a time. There are several reasons for this if that is the reason. Also i think the temp might be a little high.I think 90 will kill the embriyo. Good luck.
