Great name!
Its hard to say without a pic, but 3/4 of inch does seem kind of small...
They flatten out as they grow anyway, but I wouldn't say that much you know...I would leave it being that the veins are in good shape, can't hurt...
Get that pic up!

Re: ok question about an egg
Yeah I knew which one you were talking about, but thats normal. I really wouldn't worry much about it. My one egg was probably smaller then this and it wasn't squished lol. For some reason it dimpled A LOT so I was also a little worried, but it really is quite normal.
Hes a pretty boy!! Hopefully they turn out as sweet lookin' as him, Good Luck!
Re: ok question about an egg
i wish my phone had taken better pics of him hes almost a chocolate color as opposed to the black lucy has
Re: ok question about an egg
When you said it was squished, I was thinking the worst. That's not so bad and it should hatch out just fine. ;)
Re: ok question about an egg
im still at work when i get home ill take a better pic with my camera its smaller than what it is in the pic i posted....that pic is from a week and a half ago
Re: ok question about an egg
ok here are two much better pics of the egg in question hope it helps with why i am concerned and gives a better understanding of why i say squished

Re: ok question about an egg
Yes, it is a little bit flat on the top. Remember though, that it is sitting in an area between two other eggs. It has a little room on the bottom that we cannot see. I think it will be fine, as you say that it still candles well.
Re: ok question about an egg
hmmm im still slightly worried the humidity has been kept between 75 and 80% since i am letting her incubate them she leaves them here aand there goes through the water bowl on her way back and re wraps so idk
Re: ok question about an egg
I think it will be fine. :) It's a bit squished but there's still plenty of room for the baby inside.
Re: ok question about an egg
ok rather be safe than sorry thank you guys whew nervous snake nanny lol
Re: ok question about an egg
I maternally incubated as well and my eggs went through different stages of squishing although I didn't get a "wedge" like yours. My eggs are flattened like yours not like the plump white eggs I see in incubator pictures.
I have to say, one pro for aritificial incubation is the eggs are prettier.
Re: ok question about an egg
sigh yeah but they have been doing it on their own for how long sigh i just wanna see the babies so bad :) how r ur doing btw
Re: ok question about an egg
