Turned eggs

[Simon Mayor]

Hey so my female laid her second clutch of what appear to be fertile eggs today (I candled them and can see red clutches of veins). But the problem is she appears to have turned them before I could get them out of the viv. (I spotted her go back into the lay box and disturb them before I got to take them out the little minx). I've moved the vein clusters back to the top of the eggs am I right in thinking that this should prevent the embryos from drowning later on? From what I've previously read it takes 24-48 hours for them to affix to the egg but I can't find too much on this. Any ideas?

Turned eggs in leos has no negative effect for the first couple of weeks.

+1 to what B&B says. Turning causes no problem until after an embryo has formed and is developing. That usually takes a couple of weeks (depending on incubation temp).

Makes sense. Baronak rolls his eggs all over the place
