    Thin spots?

    Are these thin spots on the eggs normal? I'm a little worried. Thanks!

    You have two types of spots the problem is with the quality of the picture it's hard to tell

    1/ Windows which is related to calcification, those re of no concern.

    2/ Wet spots, which can occur when condensation is dripping on the eggs, the eggs are directly in the substrate and get too wet, or the egg start sweating.

    Based on the pictures I would lean on #2 (again not the best picture)

    Did you candle your eggs? Did they have strong veins?

    Is here any condensation on the top of the tub?

    Thanks! No, the humidity is too low atm actually, I've been trying to get it up. I was relying on maternal incubation but decided to use my reptibator, I'm waiting on vermiculte to show up in the morning. TL: DR; they're not water spots. So good, it's just calcification then I did candle and yeah, LOTS of good veins in there. I couldn't see any snakes but there's definitely a lot of veins.
