Eggs?

[geckoboy16]

I just put my female SHTCTB female with my High Yellow Male about a month ago hoping for some eggs. The male has bred previously and i am sure that the SHTCTB is a female. I am a first time breeder so i am not sure if my female is carrying eggs. I thought she was becuase in the last week she has gotton a lot fatter and i see white outlines of possible eggs when i turn her over, but i wanted to see for sure if she had eggs developing or not so i took some pictures. Heres some pictures tell me if they look like eggs or not. Thanks for the help! :main_thumbsup:

Sorry the pictures arent that great but it was hard to keep her still.

Im a irst time breeder too, but i really think she is gravid.

Okay i was pretty sure too, but i figured i would see what everyone else thought.

I would say, yes

I just came home from school and found that she layed two eggs today! But i have two quick questions:

1. While digging though the container i scooped up one egg and moved it so i forgot which side was origonally facing up. I know this is bad becuase it is supposed to be kept the way it was layed. Will the egg not hatch if i accidentally moved its position?
2. I went to school at 7:30 this morning and came home at around 5:00 and the eggs are still soft. Are they supposed to harden up right away or are they infertile?

Thanks for the help guys, this is my first time breeding so any tips are appreciated!

Well, #1= I would just candle them and see if they are pink. But i would still stick them in the incubator because sometimes they turn pink after a while. #2= They probably are still moist and soft when they are newly laid and it doesnt mean they are infertile.

I don't think it's a problem if they get turned right after they're laid.

good i was worried lol.

so does it usually take more than a day for the egg shells to harden up?
