So I have two bins I use, one for egg laying and one for roaches, both the roaches cant get out of

When I clean out my roaches I empty the one bin with dirt into another container that the roaches could climb out of

Magenta laid eggs in the lay bin about 60 days ago.

Apparently I missed three eggs..

One dud and two good ones

I was shocked! How could these two eggs have lived in the egg laying bin for so long! The dirt was still nice and moist, not where I really like it to be at for incubation though, and the temps in my room where the lay bin is drop to about 70* F at night.

I candle lit the eggs and to my surprise there are babies in them, granted no where near about to hatch like the other from the clutch, but still.

Next to one about to hatch any day,

Oh and the egg about to hatch is that color due to what I use for an incubation material, so its just stained, the eggs are fine, I'm going to switch it all out once this batch hatches so they stop getting stained,
 
Eggs like dragons themselves are pretty durable. As long as they have a reasonable amount of moisture and temperature, they will grow and will likely be fine, will just take them longer to hatch. What exactly are you using for your medium to stain them like that?

There's eco earth on the bottom then perlite, the dirt stained the perlite ending up staining the eggs. Its driving me crazy, I cant wait for these ones to hatch so I can change it out, when the eggs where first laid I had a bag of perlite, but my dad stole it and used it for his garden, and so I only had a tinny bit left, so I had to use the dirt for a temporary solution, its worked out great besides the staining, Ive already had a healthy leopard gecko hatch from it, I was going to switch it once I got the perlite a few days later, but I was a bit to scared about moving the eggs and just left it as is

I didn't think the could survive the temp fluctuation in my room, its anywhere from 70 at night to 90 during the day depending on how hot it is out side and if the ac is running

So to any reading this, how on earth do I post a thread 😅 New here, possibly too old for this

I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
