Questions about bad Eggs

Hello,

I picked up a male and female leo this spring and they hit it off right away. She, a normal, has thus laid 4 clutches, two which have hatched (I was getting worried since I did not know if I incubated them right). Since then I have picked up two other females. Both of them have laid a first clutch. The enigma's eggs were unusually long and thin, as well as orange/yellow. I put them in the incubator just in case, one eventually dented and fungus-ed and I tossed it out. The other is still in there. The Snow has also just laid a clutch yesterday and both eggs were partially deflated and dented, I put them in the incubator just in case, they look a little better and one of them has firmed up a little, but they are still dented.

Are these eggs bad? Is it normal for first time leo's to have problems?

Thanx

Some first time leos get it right from the beginning and some don't. Probably the eggs are no good, but incubate until they either hatch or mold and/or shrivel.

Sometimes when they get dented or deflated, they need more moisture/humidity in with them, and they sometimes swell right back up, but too much water/moisture is bad.
Good luck!
