    Unhappy Sad start to 2012...

    Our first clutch of 2012 is due to hatch any day now and one of the eggs looked like it was going bad. It was turning gray/yellow/see through, dimpled really bad and barely any veins. It was close enough to its due date so I cut it and confirmed it was a bad egg. The baby was extremely small (I didn't get a weight yet) and as you can see is deformed. Under the baby was a hard mass of yolk which when I took out had a nice creamy center. I will never forget that smell! It was horrible. I feel horrible. No clue what went wrong, but I suppose it happens to the best of us. Hopefully the other 4 eggs in this clutch are still good. FWIW, pairing was female fire x spider x black pastel x pastel.

    Aw no, sorry to see that. Likely it was nothing wrong on your end. Sometimes they are just not meant to make it.

    Good luck on the rest of the eggs.

    So sorry your year started like that.
    Hopefully the other 4 eggs are good and the odds gods are on your side after that first one.
