    Yes, as long as the other site doesn't include any objectionable material that may show up in your post inadvertently, either as content or ads. (This has happened before, that's why I mention it.)

    Most here seem to prefer the Tapatalk app for posting pics. https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-Post-Pictures

    So any ideas what's up with the egg?

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    The moldy egg was leaking and stinking this morning. I cut it open, there was a white blob that smells like dead tadpoles that have been rotting. I couldn't make out anything but the eyes

    Poor fella, but his sibling is still going strong!

    Also, Lenetta should be laying eggs anytime before the 11th. A few days ago I checked and the eggs were getting larger, and now I can't see anything, except that her right fat body looks bigger than usual. Think I'm just not seeing it, or did she reabsorb the eggs?

    Sorry for your loss. Sometimes we lose some but we learn from it and improve on our next clutches. We’ve all experienced it so you’re not alone. Good luck with the other eggs.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Sorry about that egg! It's not unusual for a first times females clutch to be weak eggs. Hopefully your other egg hatches good! I think you should be getting another clutch soon, it can be hard to see the eggs since there are also fat bodies and other organs, so I don't think she reabsorbed.

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    Update: The egg is still doing fine, no mold and doesn't seem too wet or dry, and there are plenty of veins when I candle it, and the seem to be getting bigger. I'm trying not to handle it too much, but I opened the incubator yesterday to put in cricket eggs (I'm trying to breed crickets and I'm trying different incubation methods. CHE, UTH, and incubator) and figured that while it was open I'd candle the egg. I didn't take it out, just opened it and put the flashlight by it. Showed me enough.

    I can now see the eggs thru Lenetta's belly. I can see both of them, which, if it's anything like last time, means she'll probably lay in the next 3 days or so.

    And I'm trying to stay busy to keep myself from going crazy over the eggs. I'm trying to breed crickets, starting breeding mealworms again, and getting an enclosure ready for the Asian forest scorpion I (hopefully) will be getting.

    Isn't it cool to candle the eggs, especially when they're doing well? That's how I candle them too- in place, not touching or handling. And soon, with any luck, you'll have more!

    This is all great! I really hope that you get lots of gecko babies.

    Not to derail the thread too much but when you bred mealworms in the past how did you collect the mealworms? I have a mealworm colony but I don't want to pick out each mealworm one by one and I haven't been able to get a filter to seperate the mealworms from the substrate. Also, if you get an AFS be sure to get a captive bred one or give it a thorough health check in person. I had an AFS but it died due to phorid fly maggots a few days after I got it, which is my fault for not checking that before I bought it.

    Yeah, definately. The eggs are real easy to see thru her belly now, so I'm thinking they'll probably be laid soon.
