Are these eggs alright?

Heyzookeeper99 · Jan 29, 2010

So I just got these eges from my SHT and my Hypo, I bred them last year got 6 eggs late in the season 3 hatched, 2 did not make it due to inexperience but Im thinking the egg on the left is not fetile, but i think the one one the right is althought its has like two little divits, any advice would help thanks guys.

Yeah, the one on the left looks infertile, though I'd incubate both until it starts to smell and mold just to be sure. The one on the right should be alright as long as the incubator's humid enough

if in doubt, incubate!

Heyzookeeper99 · Jan 29, 2010

Yea thats what i was planning on doing but i just wanted to get some extra advice and as far as hummidity i think i have it right but what percent do you recomend? and should i keep the hummidity in the container itself of just in the incubator?

i do not know the water to perlite ration. i use vermiculite

Keep them both in the cooker. Don't take the one out until it starts sinking in and getting mold on it. Ive had two eggs in the cooker for over 60 days now, today one of the eggs dented in so i took it out and slit it open. You just never know with eggs.

I had an egg last year I should have split open, I've never manually opened an egg but I'm sure my hand is steady enough to do so if it's nessasary. Can you explain how you did it so I know for future ref if needed (if overdue and has dented)?

Have you "candled" the eggs yet?

Im sure you mean 0.8 and not 0.08, so dont get confused OP

robin · Jan 30, 2010

.08 to what amount of perlite?

artgecko · Jan 30, 2010

0.8 g water for every gram of perlite.

I use 1 part perlite to one part water by weight, just cook the perlite first to get all the moisture out, and possible contaminants.
