Found Eggs!! Question

zippy00_99 Mar 27, 2009 04:28 PM

My female has not laid any eggs EVER, she was paired last november, so I just figured that we weren't going to get any eggs from her. I was cleaning out their enclosure and was going to clean out the egg box because there was some mold starting to form in the corner. I looked closer and observed something under the mold and substrate and sure enough there were eggs there!! I don't know how long they have been there, but they did not look newly laid at all. They looked healthy and because it is the first eggs I have ever got in my life i was excited and scared because one of the eggs rolled over, but I rolled it the rest of the way so that my mark was upright again. My question is, did I 100% kill the egg rolling it all the way over, or is there still a chance that because it wasn't upside down for more than a few seconds it might still go to term???? Thanks

It should be fine if it was only rolled over a couple seconds and righted right after. Keep incubating till it stinks like rotten eggs or hatches.

OOOH, good luck. I hope they hatch out for you.
I breed my Bearded Dragons this summer for the first time. It was very exciting.
