Help! Green on my BP eggs!
I was giving the eggs a checkup and noticed a few of them have green stuff on them, it appears like mould, but it doesnt wipe off. It seems as If its coming from inside the eggs. I have had them in a incubator at 88-90F
heres a few pics

6 out of 7 have been candled. They all showed viens. The only things I can think of is that I didnt find the eggs in the females enclosure about a week after she had laid (im assuming a week since I was gone for the week). She had laid them on the hot side of her tank. Her hotspot is anywhere from 92-95.
Are they dead? :(

They were discovered by me on the 9th of july. I believe they were laid after the 2nd of july while I was out on business. So they are only around 10 days old Im guesstimating .

I agree. The substrate looks too wet. The eggs should be just as white and dry on the bottom as they are on top. We use vermiculite / perlite and don't usually see condensation on the inside of the egg box until the eggs start dimpling right before they pip. It looks like the inside of the egg box is covered with condensation and the medium looks wet.

I have separated the 4 that have it from the 3 that dont. It doesnt wipe off at all. It appears that the color is coming from the inside :(
