I got home last night from a 3 day business trip and checked on my eggs. The temps stayed stable but I just got home from work now and opened the egg chamber and saw that the egg on the outside of the clutch started to mold. It wasn't a very big spot, about the size of a half dollar or so. I removed the mold and wiped it off as best I could and cleared out the substrate from around that spot. I also candled it and it's still good but the spot is in the area of where the embryo is. Is that gonna hurt it? Is it good enough now? Also, it got really warm in my house today because of the weather getting warmer and the temp was up to almost 94. I got it stablized again though. Are the eggs, specifically the molded one alright or should I expect problems with it now? Thanks alot. Ryan.
