Hey guys, beardie(s) owner for 4 years, first time on site (posting :D)

About a week ago my female laid her eggs (she mated) and went to check on the vermiculite the eggs are in and noticed an odor coming out of it.

There are 2 eggs I'm not quite sure on. One of them has 2-3 lumps of yellow on outside, another is a very small bump of yellow.

Is this the yolk? And if so, should I remove and freeze/discard them for safety of others?

Sure appreciate any help and advice of what to do. Thanks!

Hi there, can you post close up pics ? Here's how :

https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ Then use the XIMG to upload pics to your post

Sometimes the dragon accidentally puts a minor scratch/pinhole in the egg with her claws as she maneuvers them or when she covering them. Then a little bit will leak out ....that's probably what happened. If they smell get them out right away, they are not alive now. If you're in doubt you can just toss them in a small plastic bag with a bit of water, they can not survive being wet so there's no need to freeze them at all.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
