What on earth is going on w/these eggs?

[timeakinga]

Incubated a perfect clutch of eggs last year, this year the eggs are doing odd things like the photo I will post below. I’m on day 34, using vermiculite. I feel that the vermiculite may have been a tad too humid so I lowered it in the egg box (not dramatically) since I saw the bottom of just those two eggs today. The veins are absolutely strong red and beautiful through the whole egg on both. Anyone have this before? Where did I go wrong? Or just any thoughts. I’d like to learn from it! Thank you

Some eggs that look perfectly good just do go bad, as those look to be doing. BUT, unless you're SURE they're bad, you aren't helping at all by tilting them...that's a good
way to drown the eggs (yes, I'm serious). Eggs must stay right side up (exactly as laid), & never turned. (they're NOT like chicken eggs)

If I had to guess, those probably are starting to smell bad now too? But sometimes eggs can fool you...start looking bad & still be ok, that's why you don't want to handle
them like you're doing.

The angle looks worse than it is, my phone is near but not quite completely under the egg as I’ve heard you’re not supposed to turn them. I have the tops marked when laid for that reason. Surprisingly although I gave them a big sniff last night they still smell perfectly fine.. as in like no bad smell whatsoever

Also another question for two of the other eggs- why would the bottom of an egg start to dimple? I had the tops last year that I’ve read is normal.. is it normal for the bottom too sometimes?

Do this for the rest of your incubation https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-egg-tub-setup and coat the affected area of the egg with gorilla glue or liquid bandaid or foot athlete powder.

Thank you thank you! Got the powder on lightly this morning
