    Moldy eggs

    Bare with me here.....
    I have a pair of adult gargs and began breeding them last year. My first 3 clutches of eggs were perfect, beautiful healthy babies. My 4th clutch...and sadly every clutch since then has molded around day 5. Literally NOTHING had changed. Temp, humidity, substrate, parents, containers....

    So my first clutch from them this year, I experimented with 2 different cups and 2 different hatching substrates...moldy.

    My only thought is one of my geckos became infertile for some reason and all of the eggs have been infertile to begin with. Thoughts on this theory??

    If they are not directly in contact with the substrate the eggs were either not fertile or died within a few days.

    Do you keep your gargs together at all time or do you remove the male to give some rest to the female?

    Even if the male is removed the females will continue to lay eggs monthly for a several month but I would highly encourage you to give a break to the females at some point.
