eggs sweating?

[gage]

should i be worried if one of my eggs are sweating i was away for the weekend and we had a house sitter so i dont know how long they have been sweating for i am expecting them to hatch this week so is it about to hatch or is it bad?

Could be about to hatch...they do sometimes sweat a few days before hatching. You might see some hatchlings very soon!

great thanks

also should i wipe off the sweat or leave it

 

[GECKOFREAK]

eggs 'sweat' usually just before they hatch...no need to wipe it off, just leave it alone and hopefully you will see a hatchling soon

No problem, but we do charge a small fee... let's see those hatchlings when they decide to arrive

A watched pot never boils as much as we want it to and fast.

Sounds like you'll have some pics ready soon to show us!!

yes if you watch your eggs they will never hatch trust me on that. it took me getting super mad and just saying screw it to the eggs and ignored them 2 days later i get 6 babies...

one of the eggs has mold on it when i got back from school i also lifted it out of the vermiculite and there is a tiny bit of denting on the bottom what should i do

You should stop touching the eggs so much.

I know it's hard, I know you're anxious, but you're only increasing the chances of the fetus passing away if it hasn't already if you handle the eggs a lot. The next time you need to get in there for something, remove the mold with a q-tip. Then leave everything alone...

this is the first time i have touched it after putting it in the incubator and i did remove the mold with a q tip i was just looking to sea if there was any mold on the bottom

the egg molded realy bad so i piped it and it must of died realy early on because there is no baby formed at all i am starting to have very little hope in the other egg as it is way past the ue date still nce and plump but i think it mite have died

I'm sorry it didn't make it. They usually only sweat for a little while before hatching. Any that I've had sweating for more than 24 hours always went bad.

A glaze of growth of certain types of mold can look superficially similar to sweating, although not identical.
