Dragon Eggs

My beardy, elizabeth, laid 11 eggs about 1 hour ago. I didnt know she was pregnant so i havent researched how to take care of them. I covered them with sand but i have no idea what to do. Please help.

i would check under the breeding info on the forum.. did she mate? i think they can lay unfertilized eggs...........

Yeah they can. Has she been mated? Are they white and plump?>

 

[spikesowner]

yes the eggs are mostly whitish and well formed. Some are plump.

QUESTION: IM 13 AND IM USING A STYROFOAM INCUBATOR FOR THE 14 EGGS ELIZABETH LAIDED. iVE HAD THEM IN THERE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND THEY ARE STARTING TO SMELL BAD. SOME OF THE EGGS HAVE WHITE SPOTS AND BLOTCHS ON THEM WHILE 4 OF THE EGGS ARE PLAIN WHITE AND LARGE LOOK HEALTHY. THE ONES THAT HAVE THE WHITE SPOTS ARE DISCOLORED AND NOT AS WELL FORMED. ARE THE WHITE SPOTS UNHEALTHY OR SIGNS OF INFECTION? PLEASE HELP.

SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS.

Those smelly, discolored eggs are infertile or dead embryos! You need to remove those immediately before they attract mold and possibly spread mold to the healthy eggs! If you have removed the bad eggs, the smell will be gone. It's natures way of telling you something is not right, smelly = bad egg!

you said you put sand on them? that wont work i dont think. You need vermiculite. Also did she even mate with a male? Females can lay eggs without a male but they wont be any good.

Did you rotate them at all?
also what was the temp in the incubator?
What is the Humm lvl in the incubator?

Just questions to see if the eggs would of made it or were no good.

If you have pics of the eggs that would really help to.

THANK YOU.

You need vermiculite. SORRY, IT IS VERMICULITE. MY DAD GOT IT WITH ME

Also did she even mate with a male? Females can lay eggs without a male but they wont be any good. YES. SHE LIVES WITH ZEUS AND HAS SINCE SHE WAS BORN THREE YEARS AGO.

Did you rotate them at all? NO

also what was the temp in the incubator? 81-82

What is the Humm lvl in the incubator? I HAVE A HUMITIDY STRIP, BUT CAN'T TELL. IT IS PRETTY MOIST IN THEIR. TOO MOIST?

Just questions to see if the eggs would of made it or were no good.
