Hello, I have 4 leo eggs that still haven't hatched and might be molding. 1 was laid on June 22nd, 1 was laid on July 1st, and 2 were laid on July 15th. When should they've hatched? The 1 that was laid on july 1st's clutchmate went bad, It was fine and then it looked like it started to leak and then it molded. What happened there? Also the june 22nd one looks normal but looks to be yellow on the inside but hasn't molded yet. I thought they wouldn't hatched by now. They all looked fine until they were old enough to hatch. The 2 july 15th ones still look fine but might be molding, they kind of look fuzzy. The rest of my eggs look fine right now. I just want to know what I am doing wrong. Please help! Thanks!

The incubator temp is 84. I'm using vermiculite and I squeezed most of the water out of it so very little water dripped out whenever i squeezed it like everyone said to.

I haven't recently candled them but I did about a month ago and they were all pink except the one that I said looks yellow, but it hasn't molded so its still in the incubator.

Just to give you an idea- I'm incubating at about the same temp as you, and the clutch laid on 7/15 just started to hatch last night. I'm very sorry, but it's my first breeding season and I can't help any more than that.

I hope you get it figured out.

The June 22nd went bad. It looked like it was bleeding, I will post pics later. I still thing I am doing something wrong. Is there too much humidity? Too hot? There seems to be like a white something growin on the little wire tray thing in the hovabator.

Next time try the 1:1 ratio of water and vermiculite.I stopped doing the squeeze method.Too moist.My eggs almost took 70 days b4 they hatched
