Thought Id finally post the photos of my first clutch of the season.
These babies where laid Feb 17 2011,
They are incubating at 84.1 *f and a humidity of 85%
(Ignore the readings on the temps on the photos, it changed when I opened the lid to get the photos, and to add more water to the bottom of the incubator)
The father is a Pastel, and the mother is a Tiger possible hypo mix.
^Mother
^Father.
Its been 41 ( 3-29-11) days since they have been laid, and I'm itching for them to hatch, this is her first clutch that I have incubated, so I'm hoping all of them hatch well.
Oh you may not be able to notice but I'm using this nifty little thing I found online to help Incubate eggs.
Its for leopard gecko eggs, but it works good with bearded dragon eggs to.. Granted you cant put the lid on since the eggs are a bit to big. But so far it works wonderfully.
i hate to tell you, but no your eggs do not look normal...like you said they started out white and should stay white until they hatch.
cant say for sure whats goin on, but looks like some type of fungus or mold has got them...does it smell bad when you open the incubator up?
the eggs shouldnt look like they are wet in places either...if you have more eggs, you need to have them in a incubating medium also... (hatchrite) is a good product...it holds in moisture and has some anti-fungal properties in it...this is probably another reason they have not made it.
There is no smell. They are still firm and plump. There's no mold or anything. There where orginaly kept in repti soil for a week till the incubation holders came. I'm thinking they might just be stained? Also when I candle light them I still see blood veins all over. I won't toss them out untill they fully colaspes and mold over. Hopefully that will not happen.
Humidity is the same as always. I didn't pick any of the little eggies up : ) but I'm takeing your advice and just watching from the out side of the incubater
Its been 56 days.. When I hold the flash light up to the side of the container they are sitting in, I see little tails and other random body parts move around like crazy.. I cant wait for them to hatch.. I was really hoping they would hatch today since its my 21 bday.. But no such luck Ill just have to keep waiting and hope they hatch soon.. Well I did have one thing hatch.. But I dont really count silk worms as exciting and stuff.
Dont worry about photos.. There will be millions of them once they hatch
