Bad eggs?

[Vamp523]

Well my leo just lay her first clutch about 2 weeks ago. Eggs looking plump and seem to be fertile from my attempt at candling. They are incubated at 84degree. But the top of one egg have begun to harden and form these weird stuff on it. Can anyone tell me whats wrong with it?

I would say extreamly yes, but Untill it gets flat and ugly I would trow it away. How old is it?

 

[Vamp523]

They're 2 weeks old. One of them is getting really bad and ugly. the other one is still perfect except for the black shape thing on top.

I would say they are bad since they look hideous and only 2 weeks old. Dont trow they away since I would hate to see healthy eggs thrown away.

Well the egg in the 2nd picture have some mold growing on it now and it kinda denting in some area.. I've candle and im 100% sure it's fertile since the entire egg is pinkish and I see the veins and stuff inside the egg.
The egg in the first picture is still the same and most likely fertile too. Hopefully both will make it for another 3-4 weeks =(

I read somewhere that some one suggested using a little foot powder - Like for fungus ... Search some of the prior threads on "Egg" forum.

Good memory Jenn. Athletes foot powder.

ok since they are still red in the inside your medium(the stuff you incubate your eggs on) is too wet and use should use 1:1 ratio method for vermiculite .8:1 ratio for perlite using a digital scale. the first number is water. I have also heard the athletes foot stuff but dont get the scented kind just working powder thats says anti fungal cuss some are just for the oder(I know so much because of 7-8th grade speech about what kind of foot powder to get for pe class) well hope it works and for the next clutch of eggs use less water for the medium so they dont get like this.

What do you mean it's still red in the medium? I was worry because when the egg was lay there was alot of water in the humid hide and there was a puddle where she lay the egg, I was scare that it absorbed too much water. But i didn't spray too much water on the incubating medium.

My female is doing quite well for a first time breeder. Shes only a year old and she just lay 2 more eggs, haven't taken a look since she's still sitting on it. but today is exactly 2 weeks to the date when she layed the first clutch
Edit : I just shined a light from underneath the box and there's a "bullseye" present in both of these egg =).
