Now I'm getting frustrated

[steve905]

I currently have about 40 leo eggs cooking. My frustration is coming from the eggs that are molding. I've cooked lots of eggs in the past but i've probably tossed 10 so far....I have them on super hatch right now drained off and just famp. The eggs are not buried more than a 1/4 way down just to hold them. They were pink and fertile and this is happening about 3-5 weeks into the incubation...Any Suggestions

only thing i can think of is to change the incubation medium. is this the first time you have used the hatchrite?

He is using superhatch, I think you read through it to quick Robin lol.

But only thing I could say is it might be to humid..I have fat tail gecko eggs incubating in a shoebox with Superhatch and they are doing great..only ones that have molded over have been the bad eggs (from my WC Group)..

ok regardless i still think it could be the incubation medium.

I think it may be the hatchrite. I personally have not had success using that stuff. Other then that I dont know...maybe put small vent holes in the container and see if it helps any.

I tried hatchrite last yr. with my cresties and miserable results..Thought I'd try it again with leos this year. I do have a pencil eraser sized hole cut in the deli cup for ventilation since I didn't want to have another issue again. I seems to be happening more with my tangerine belles more that any others..My raptors have 10 eggs and all are perfect....Uggghhhh.....sigggghhhh!

I've heard great things about perlite, so I'm using that this season vermiculite was a pain :-/ never tried superhatch or hatchrite and from just these few reviews I don't think I will either lol!
