[I just posted on breeding section about me having eggs. I dont know what healthy eggs look like so can you guys either show or give a description please. I found my eggs this morning and I went to bed last night around 1:30am, I woke up and found eggs around 8:30am. I took em out and put em in the container as best Ic could. One did roll over in the perlite, I think I put it back properly. They both were tacky to the touch, one was laid on the tile and I had to gently pull it from it. Being that this is my girls first clutch I would like to know what to look for so I'm not holding on to false hope. And I want to candle them so I can mark em and amke sure I have em right side up, what should I look for when I candle them. Any other advice or tips that I should be looking for would be helpful.

one was on the tile and the other was where? does your female have a lay box? the photo is not clear but to me they do not look fertile.

She layed them in the cage, I was setting up the lay box and when I picked her up I seen the eggs, I think they are not cause they r still soft, I see the red bullseye though
