spreading water spots on eggs, what to do?

[Heini86]

Please help me. What should I do with these water spots? I did put some liquid band aid to them last evening, but they are still spreading. Incubation temps. are 32 celcius, humidity 99%. There are good veins in all the eggs. I wonder is this my doing, I have opened the lid now about 5 times in 5days. My female laid her eggs 5days ago. This is my first ball python clutch, don´t wanna lose them... sorry the bad guality of pics, don´t really wanna open the incubator anymore [IMG]WP_20160413_08_28_04_Pro[/IMG][IMG]WP_20160413_08_27_50_Pro[/IMG]

Did you mix the vermiculite correctly with 1:1 ratio of water by weight? I think you put way too much water in your mixture. You might want to take them out and put them into a new. Be very careful

I fixed my dripping issue by putting more open tubs full of water in the incubator. You can also put something under one side of the box so the water rolls to the end that the eggs aren't on. The condensation forms because the incubator may not be very well insulated - so the incubator is colder than the inside of the egg box. This can be resolved in the future by calibrating temps with the temperatue probe on the outside of the egg box, so the incubator is never hotter than what's in the egg box - I've never done this though as there's more room for error with this method.

Vermiculate is 1 to 1, damp not wet. Water doesn´t come out when squeezed. The two of eggs what are direct contact with substrate are looking perfect. I don´t see much condensation water on the tubs lid, there is bearly nothing. I was also suspecting temperature changes has coused the eggs sweating. Is this possible? Thank you for replies

I changed the substare as suggested, also put a plastic mesh thing under the eggs so they are no longer direct contact wit the substrate. Also tilted tubs one side little. I hope this helps. I´m so stressed
Also take a better picture while at it. That green colour wasn´t there yesterday...

I did sprinkle some anti-fungus foot powder to bad looking spots. I`ll keep this post updated whatever happens. I hope it will help someone someday

No other suggestions here, but fingers are crossed for you! I had issues early on with my first clutch, though it's seemed to stabilize now, I understand your stress. Good luck!

Thank you, thumbs up for both of us

I think the bad looking eggs are dying. One on the top is starting to collapse. Two eggs bottom of the pile are still looking good. Should I try to separate the bad ones or just leave them be?
