Boob-egg question.
Hey everyone.
We have been breeding for years now, and have been VERY fortunate, and never had a bad egg, until this year.
This clutch came from a 1600g +/- Lesser female, and was laid on May 9th. Essentially the boob egg in question looked just like this straight from the lay. It was not quite this dark though. It has darkened over the past 2 weeks.
Now, I've seen plenty of threads with boob eggs going to term, and hatching a healthy baby. Today, I candled it and the vein structure looks very good. So, to me, that says let it go and see what happens.
In the first picture, you can see some white spots developing on the dark portion of the egg. They appear to be mold. The incubation box they are in is in the high 80% humidity, and the other eggs feel great.
Now, my question. Is there something I can spot-treat the mold spots on the boob egg with, to keep it from spreading and potentially killing it? The mold is also touching one of the good eggs, That worries me also.
Thanks for reading, thanks for looking, and hope everyone is doing well.
~Phil
