    Re: Egg problems please help

    Is your substrate still moist? does it clump when you squish it together? I am not familiar with JCP eggs but reptile eggs in general can look pretty funky and still hatch fine. If they were dead they would mold with a week or two. All eggs will wrinkle as the closer to hatching (2-3 weeks before). Check substrate(make sure it's not dried out) and make sure the tubs are sealed up so they aren't getting any breeze or strong airflow on them and caising them to dry up.

    I would also check th esubstrate to make sure you have enough moisture.

    Your eggs are not dead. When and if you start to see blue and green on them, it means that the egg(s) is dead and the gram- bacteria have taken over.

    Did you candle the eggs at all? I know they were all stuck together and unable to separate, I don't know if it's possible to put a mag lite up to one on top or something and make sure they have those veins.
