I need some help with our Veiled eggs

kc_interpreter Aug 26, 2008 09:33 PM

We have two different clutches of eggs from one female. It is her second and third clutches in a year. We bought her gravid from a herp show here in KC. This is our first time ever having eggs and need a little help. Both clutches are in sweater boxes in moist percilite, at room temp(about 78). At the start we had several eggs not make it, some were dented in, and others were tiny. Later we had some mold. All in all we lost about half the first clutch so far. Now they are looking much better, but some have started turning a yellow color and you can almost see inside of them. Does anyone know whats going on or what I can do to make things better? The eggs are about 3 months old now.

Thanks, Jeffrey

Ya know its weird because people use many diff methods, we incubated ours at 80 but we had some premature hatching and those ones didnt make it. We called around and alot of people dont even incubate them, they just stick them in a cool closet. As you can see in the pic if it shows up, the larger more swolen eggs almost seemed like they just popped, and the baby inside wasnt ready, wierd. Anyway some of our eggs turned a slightly yellow color and were fine so you never know, do you have any pics?
