Fertile or infertile.

Ok, i have been receiving some soft eggs. i usually check them with a penlight and put them vein side up. after 2 days of incubation i came back to notice the eggs were starting to sweat. tempd are 84 degreed in the deli cup and i am using perilite as a median. The eggs look fertile whe i candel them but I know if they are sweating already they probably wont make it. What am i doing wrong?


Sorry for any spelling errors.

your substrate is to moist.

make a new cup full...

squeeze out all the water. the perlite should be moist enough to ball up.. but break apart with just a touch

Incubate until there's no debate! Check you medium and be sure it isn't too wet and redo if needed, as Dennis said.

dennis, i think you're thinking of vermiculite. perlite is like little rocks and i don't think it'll ball up.

80% water, by weight will get you to the perfect moisture level. get a scale if you don't have one, you're going to need it if you plan on breeding leos. guessing just doesn't cut it.

good luck!

vermiculite is 1:1
