Egg goin bad !!

[lizard-king]

Hi.. Just want to know if anyone can tell me if this egg is due to fail? The two were laid on the 4 Apr 2008. Ive never seen an egg go like this before so im a bit puzzled as to wots goin on with it, its clutch mate looks pretty good tho! Ive enclosed a few pics and included one of the mother just for fun.. The pairings for this clutch were Raptor x Raptor so I really dont wannae loose either of them. Thanx

Bump

I have seen this thread since you've posted it and I really don't know either, I'm sorry, I hope someone else can help you soon. You could try PMing Marcia from Golden Gate Geckos

 

[lizard-king]

Thanx. I may just do that but I think it may be to late as the redness just seems to be spreading round the egg to quickly now. Ive notive that the egg smells quite bad, almost like its rotten !! :main_huh:

 

[dprince]

If it smells bad, I'd toss it.

 

[lizard-king]

So theres nothing I can do to save it then?

I take it the chances of it spreading to the other egg is pretty high?

 

[dprince]

Not all eggs are meant to hatch, unfortunately.

 

[lizard-king]

Yeh your right. I guess nature decides..

 

[fallen_angel]

Sorry it was probably just infertile from the get-go

 

[PacHerp]

if you really want to, you can put that egg in a container by itself and see what happens... but in my opinion, that egg is going bad

 

[lizard-king]

Sorry it was probably just infertile from the get-go

The two eggs were definatley fertile. Ive just had to throw it now though, more than half the egg had turned black.. Cant win them all..

 

[TheHiddenGecko]

I hate it when you have fertile eggs and the correct amount of water and it still goes bad. Not the best feeling but what more can you do?

That's rough, it's always harder when they were fertile first, I'm so terribly sorry

LIZARD KING the top egg looks to be turning also you might check your perilite it might be too moist.good luck!

Thanx Fallen_Angel.

Eric ive been checking to make sure that the vermic isnt to moist n it seems to be just right. I did think that bout the other egg but despite the last one dieing he's doing great and is due to hatch (fingers crossed) in 3 weeks.

Your actually using perlite not vermiculite..but any way good luck and let us know what happens. (fingers crossed)

We use perlite too, it's recommended by Albey on his How to Incubate page

 

[david13]

i have had any eggs to incubate , but im gunna use vermiculite. i'm sorry about your egg, but like said Steve, what else can you do?
