New poopers!! (pic heavy)

[Twobeardieguy]

Ok so some of you where not aware but I lost just about my whole 3rd clutch to mold!! There was none in the dishes but some how I looked under the container and BAM I found mold growth!! I have never had this problem or even seen this before!! I have 8 left out of this clutch!! Has anyone ever had to deal with this type of problem before? Anyways without further ado......

Also wanted to add dad and mom in there

Hey Lance cute little poopers there, glad to hear they made it . As for mold never had any issues with my dragon eggs and mold have had an instance with my python eggs and had some mold growth. Was able to keep the mold at bay and the hatchling came out fine. I was unable to pinpoint the source of the mold as it only affected one egg. sorry couldn't be more help

awwwwwwww!!! way too cute!!!!!! Looking at the size of those babies makes me realize that my little Puff was either a runt...or he was way younger than what the pet store told me he was because he was about that small when I brought him home. He is thriving, but i can't get him to eat live feeders very well. he loves his babyfood slurry though!!

Oh, PLEASE tell me that little guy isn't dead!!!!

 

[zebraflavencs]

No, not dead, just dead tired ! Lots of work to extract oneself from an egg !

Hello Lance,

Oh I am sorry to hear about losing most of your clutch, but, the remaining ones hatching are beautiful!
I am not a breeder, so I can't help you out with the mold issues. Did water spill out somewhere from the incubator & cause buildup on something?
Mom & dad look beautiful, but I am sure that they are tired!

Hi Tracie,

Thank you very much, I think we found out why the mold started! I used spring water instead of distilled water this time!! Sadly I must say that I had lost 110 eggs!!! Some how there was mold and mildew under the bins in the incubator so I started to lift the eggs to find that they where flat on the bottom of the eggs and filled with mold! But the tops where plump and very nice looking!! Humidity in the containers where 82% and 80% in the incubator!! This is the first time in 6 years I ever had problems like this!!!! Well I can only look forward to next season..........

[dolphingirl]

And Kagome100 Great luck to you!!! Please post the pictures!! :wink:
