My first clutch didn't make it

:tears::tears: My mojo decided to drop her eggs while I was on vacation. I am sure they are bad. It was less than a week. She was bred to a black pastel. 4 slugs, and 3 eggs. The eggs smell, are sunken, and two have green on them. I am so sad. I put the eggs into the incubator that I had running since January just in case but I have little hope. I am so praying that the one without green pulls through but sigh, so so so bad timing. This is her first clutch. Welp, there is always next year I guess.

so sorry to hear that. :-(

:( sorry to hear about that :(

Aww that's a huge bummer. Im so sorry.

:tears::tears::tears::tears::tears::tears::tears::tears:

Sorry dude; I don't know what I would do (or will do) when I start breeding...hang in there man

:tears: Thanks guys (I am a gurl BTW) I am going to candle them now just in case. I really was hoping for a black magic from her.

Well the one that I thought had no green on it actually does have a small green spot. BUT it has weak veins. The other two have no veins that I can see. I put the whole box back in, no harm done incubating them. I have such bad luck.Please cross your fingers for the one egg that has veins.

I'm rooting for the one egg to make it.

I'm SO sorry. :(

Did her maternal instincts not kick in? :(

I guess not, she was not coiled around the eggs at all and was not upset when I removed her. The eggs were in her hide but not together. Only one slug was stuck to an egg all the others had space between them.

So sorry for your loss. Hope the one egg makes it. Keep us posted. Fingers crossed. Here's to a healthy clutch next year.

Oh man that sucks! Sorry :(

I cut the two eggs without veins today to see what was inside, they were solid white goop. Like white pudding. The one did have a little liquid stuff in it but mostly solid like a hard boiled egg. strange. I have not messed with the egg that candled good. I am still really worried about her because she had a little green spot on her.

Oh, I'm sorry to read that. My fingers are crossed for you and the little remaining egg.

never hurts to try, if that egg goes bad you will know it by the smell and will change in appearance. the green spot wipe it off. I have an egg in a clutch of lesser to a pastel clown. its one end is a window. it starts to mold only on the window. I check and wipe every day. the egg is doing good and is getting near the end of incubation. never give up until you're sure. and if you're opening that tub up a lot. make sure you have a good seal so you build the humidity back up quickly. I always use press n seal. good luck with that egg. don

The last egg is looking bad. The white shell of the egg in some parts is turning clear. BUT the good news is that my pastel girl laid 5 good eggs last night. She was bred to a pastel male so hears to super pastels at least. I really wanted a magic this year though:tears:

Good luck and keep us posted.
