    Bad Eggs
    So my het albino female just layed 6 eggs (may have 1 left in her). I candled the eggs I removed and while they all look good 2 of them I couldnt really see any veins. I could see mabey 1 or 2 good eggs. Should I expect for them to start rotting, just throw em away now or what......

    NO, candle them again in a week. many of these eggs are just fine. do not throw them away until they are smelly and growing different colors, mold.

    Don't give up on a egg until you have no doubt that it's dead

    When you candle the egg that fell out. Look for one side to have a more yellowish almost strip about 3/4 inches wide running the legth of the egg. It takes a little bit to recognize but if you candle around the egg slowly, you should be able to locate it. That strip should be placed down.

    I rolled a couple and they still hatched.
    BTW trust me when I say that you WILL know if the eggs are bad. I smelled one of mine before I can into the house:O

    just mark the top of the egg with a small dot or x with a pencil, I put a very small dot with a sharpie on mine. the rolled eggs will be fine. a member on here did an experiment where he turned eggs something like 24 , 48 hours and 2 weeks. they all hatched just fine. even with this, I still mark mine and keep them in the same position. but this was good to know.

    Thanks guys. I do mark em all for to but I just wanted to double check. she layed her first 6 and I took thoes out and realized she still had some in her so I had put her back after I took the eggs. The second time she fought me a bit comming out and the tub had fallen with the last 2 eggs in it. Thats why I was worried, You guys helped me alot though so thank you.

    This, you never know until it's without a doubt gone.
