So all of these guys were candling well a week ago. I'm not sure what happened with this clutch but if anyone can give me some advice I would much appreciate it. I've been breeding for 3 years now and until now I haven't had any issues with incubation. I have a natures spirit with herpstat at 89.5.
This morning one pipped and it wasn't moving. Just had its nose sticking out of the egg. I could tell something wasn't right when i opened the tub and it didnt move so I started cutting and found 6 out of 8 babies were dead.
This one I think has the heart on the outside of its body. It was the first to pip.

The others were not developed and the liquid in the egg was like jello.

I have 2 other clutches in my incubator and they both look good. Have about 10 days left to go on those.
The two babies left that are still alive seem to be doing ok. I see a little bel poking its head out and looking around. It seems to be alert and ill just let them be until they come out.
This is a pretty crappy feeling losing these guys and I just want to make sure I can prevent it in the future if possible.

sorry for your losses. Not sure what could be the cause. An un noticed spike in temperature?

I was kind of wondering if maybe I had a power outage or something while I was on vacation a few weeks ago but all of my clocks were set when we got back. I don't know. I just really hope the other babies are ok. I checked the other clutches and I can see movement in every egg.

Thanks for the good wishes. I'll update in a few days with the BEL and I think the other one is a little mojave.

I bred a virgin mojave to my proven lesser male. I was wondering about it being her first go at breeding maybe something went wrong early on, but I would think all would be dead if they weren't compatible? Keeping my fingers crossed for the two left :(
