Hi to any who are reading this i got my first leo when i was 11, 3 years since i havent had a successful hatch on my eggs. Ive been moving them using my hands and i belive they are dying from the yolk sac drowning any form of life. I would like to know if there are any ways to move hands free. PLEASE HELP

I handle my eggs quite frequenty to candle them, fix their position, etc. moving them with your hands is not the problem. Is she being bred?

I agree I use my hands to move eggs. Are you making sure that you keep the eggs the same way up as you find them? I mark mine with a sharpie so they don't turn upside down which can drown the baby xxx

Have you ever candles your eggs? If you are using the same pairing then one of the breeders could be sterile as well. If they candle good and then are dying thats different. You need to make sure temps are right and adequate humidity is achieved. It is not very common for embryos to drown unless they are flipped mid development and are adhered firmly to the shell walls.
