    What's wrong with these eggs?
    So, this clutch is about two weeks old.but the eggs are really wet, but not moldy. it is in the incubator with good humidity and 88 temperature. substrate is not wet, but was done at a 1:1 ratio. thought it was the condensation from the lid, took off the lid, but the spots just got bigger. now because the lid is open, the humidity is at 75, but they are still not drying. upon candeling, I still see veins. any idea on what to do or how to proceed?

    It was 1:1 by weight wasn't it?

    Are they in the substrate or on top of a light diffuser?

    I've had success covering up wet spots with liquid bandaid.

    Here is the picture... I used the flash, so they appear more yellow in the picture. They are not as yellow in person.

    Thanks in advance for suggestions!

    Yes, that was 1:1 by weight. The substrate is not wet at all, it clumps, but breaks apart easily.

    Also, don't know if this helps... This is my first clutch and I am using the reptibator.

    I'd definitely take them out of the substrate and onto a grating. Fingers crossed they make it.

    Thanks! Should I dust them with powder or anything? Or just let them be? Right now, because the dish is open, the humidity is at 75. Is that ok?

    The eggs look soaked. Definitely get them off the substrate and onto a light grate. If mold starts to grow, use some athlete's foot powder on them. Also...why does the container not have a lid? You want the humidity to be close to 100%
