Hi

[Britt0402]

Hello I am in desperate need of suggestions I made a homemade incubator for my dragon eggs and I can clearly see babies in the eggs one baby hatched and is fine but the other eggs are deflated and turning color but not hatching they seem to be sweating a lot. But I do not see any movement but I do see fully formed dragons. I’m not sure what to do at this point if someone could please help me out.

Oh wow, how is the baby that hatched ? Those look like they all went bad but keep them at least a few more days to be sure. If they mold or start to smell they are gone.
Was there water on them so that they look like that ?

The one that hatched is doing great he’s eating and seems very healthy. And yeah that was an issue the wetness kept dripping in there on the vermiculite. I added more but they seemed way too moist to me.l towards the end. Sad thing is I decided to cut the one open that was shriveled the most today and he was gone but he was fully formed and I’m so sad. They were all definitely fertile I can see bodies in all of the eggs. They are just kinda shrinking now. And I don’t see any movement so I’m not sure what to do at this point. I had just got the mom and the dad before she was acting funny so I took her to the vet and unfortunately mom didn’t make it she was internally bleeding for some reason I don’t think the lady that had them knew you weren’t supp to house them together. I immediately separated them when I got them. So he may have injured her. But I did save her eggs and I wanted to redeem her in some kinda way poor girl fought hard to live. I made a incubator for the eggs and they did good for a while at the end they seemed to be getting to much water in there I added vermiculite but idk I’m not sure what to do I did see movement before but now I did not see any at all hit can definitely see the bodies and all and they’re shrinking up and starting to change color.

That don't sound good I'm afraid.
@AHBD has hatched countless babies, just follow her lead.

Ok thank you very much.

The eggs do look like they got too wet, unfortunately that usually smothers/drowns them or causes mold. You might wait another couple of days just to be 100 % sure but it's almost certain that they are not going to make it.
I'm glad that one made it.
Whatever happened to the female may have been caused by the male but that's usually more from attacking so you'd see bad bite wounds. Something internal is more like possible cancer which dragons are prone to for some reason. Sorry that the poor girl went that way.

Hello,

Oh no, I am sorry to hear you lost the mom that way, bless her. Is the male doing ok?
I agree with AHBD, it does look like the eggs got too wet. The one that hatched must not have gotten
water or much dropped onto his egg so he made it. Post pictures of him/her when you get a chance. I
hope he makes it.
