Discovered eggs! I may be to late?

[seang89]

I recently came back from a work trip to discover my female laid eggs. This wasnt planned at all. The humidity in the setup wasnt very high and she must have had them for a week. They are still plump and soft but the shell itself is very dry and almost like the surface of the moon. I tried to flashlight/candle for veins but its hard to see through them. If anyone can add any advice it would be appreciated. I will try to get pics up within 10-15 mins.

That's normal. As long as they are not sunk in, they are fine. Get them in the proper incubator with the the proper temps and humidity or if you want to do maternal, keep the temps and humidity good for her and you should be ok.

The spots just mean the shell is a bit thin. She was lacking calcium but if they are fertile they will all be fine. I had one clutch look like that also.

nice little surprise, hope they hatch for ya. what was the pairing?

These are from a normal female bred to a pastel male. I though she didnt take this season and I wasnt expecting this at all. Thanks for all the kind words everybody. Is there a certain reason why I'm having such a hard time candling it?
I think I may have seen a few veins, Im not very sure though, it seemed as if there were very few veins. I can only candle 2 of them cause 4 of them are stuck together.

Use a mini flashlight that has LED lights. At night in a room with the lights off. Then you will see everything. Good eggs will be pink or red with veins. Bad eggs will look more yellowish and empty.

thank you so much, I candled two of the eggs tonight with a nice bright flashlight. I saw veins on both of them, not as many veins as the picture posted but veiny enough to make me believe they are fertile. I really cant thank you enough for posting those pictures to settle my mind/heart.

I have them in a DIY incubator with 95% humidity/ 87-89 degree temps. As of readings so far
