Another egg question for you....

[reptigal94]

Well,

most, if not all, of the eggs have plumped back to their original size and will hopefully stay that way now. However, I decided to candle them today and noticed the veins were fading. Does this usually happen?

You can see the embryos at the bottom growing each day, but it’s getting MUCH harder to see the veins. Should I be worrying about this or is this normal? I don’t know if it’s like bird eggs and gradually lose the veins or not...

In my experience, the veins should get stronger and more noticeable. I'd suggest that for now - leave them alone, and don't mess with them. A quick cursory look in the incubator to make sure water isn't dripping on them, and they aren't discoloring should be fine. But you're going to drive yourself nuts otherwise!
