Unsure of eggs

[Jscott92]

Hi I have a female bearded dragon that I bred with my male. She laid a clutch of eggs and I'm not certain they're fertile. I have quite a bit of experience breeding them but I've never been unsure of a clutch before. The eggs came out decent looking they were white and semi plump but no sign of an embryo except in one and it was faint. I decided to give them a chance and put them in the incubator expecting them to deflate and be bad. Well now it's day 11 and they look great nice and plump and I would say double the size of day one. All signs lead to fertile except still no sign of an embryo. Has anyone had a similar experience and ended up with babies or did they eventually shrivel and go bad?

@AHBD would probably be the best person to ask

Hi there, they don't usually double in size in 11 days so it might just seem that wat, maybe plumped a little. Right now you would be looking for a feint, pinkish ring with possibly just a few tiny veins branching out. When the room is dark, use a small penlight close to the eggs and you will see that but even if you're not sure , keep them incubating and if they're fertile you'll know it in time. Can ypu post pics of them ?

O.K, yeah those may or may not be but using the penlight in the dark should show something.

I don't think they are fertile they just started going bad out of no where there's 10 left now but I still don't see any pink or red when I candled them just yellow. What a bummer
