    Probably Unfertile Eggs, Still Exciting!
    I've been pairing a trio for the last 3-4 weeks. Last night on a whim I decided to check out the laybox, I didn't think I would find anything. I found these two eggs. The first one I rolled because I wasn't being careful, I won't make that mistake again. I don't think they are fertile considering I didn't see any veins when using a flashlight. They do look nice and plump. The laybox was filled with organic soil/peat moss/vermiculite mix so they look dirty. The egg on the right with the white strip was where I wiped it clean. I'm cooking them anyway at room temp, 74F I'm in Arizona, we will see what happens. Either way I should see some more eggs in around a month. I added some sprinkles of calcium to the CGD just to ensure both females are getting enough even though I use Repashy as well as dusted dubia roaches.

    Here is my trio and first set of eggs. Let me know what you think of the eggs.

    Congrats! If the egg was laid fairly recently it won't matter that you rolled it. You may not be able to see veining for the first few weeks. Sometimes you can't even see the cheerio for several days after the eggs are laid. In any case, always incubate until there is absolutely no doubt! That trio should make you some nice little hotties. :gj:
