Well, I don't know much but I will help out as much as I can. First, was your female with a male? A female can lay eggs even if she hasn't been with a male but the eggs will be infertile. If she has been with a male, do you have an incubator set up? If not you need one real fast!! I have eggs that have been incubating for about 63 days now. I used damp(not moist)vermiculite in small containers and put the eggs in the containers and then in the incubator. The temp should be between 81 and 84 degrees with pretty high humidity levels. I spritz the lid of the containers about every 4th day. If anyone else disagrees with what I am doing please say so, I am only trying to help. Good Luck!!!!

Thanks for the help....We made our own incubator and will hope that all goes well....Some of the eggs are a little "shriveled/not oval shaped" Is this normal?????

I had some that were real soft and dented in and they didn't make it but I have been told 'unless they are obviously bad put them in the incubator!' I would separate them but I wouldn't give up on them until you know for sure they are bad.
