    Leo Egg Question

    I was at work all day and my female laid her eggs in the bottom of her hide.
    Since I was at work her hide was very dry, she laid them on the bottom of the dry spag moss. The eggs were at least kept warm but they are super dry, in some spots the eggs are sunken in.
    If i put a little pressure on them they are just a bit squishy.
    I did put them in the incubator but will they even have a chance since they dried out? Or can they bounce back over time?

    Well since the 18th, one of the eggs got moldy about 4 days into incubation and the other is holding strong!
    I did a quick candling and I see a whole lotta pink but couldnt pick out any veins yet.
    Just the fact that it hasnt molded out yet has me excited. Hopefully it will hatch!
    And my female is gravid with two more eggs so hopefully she'll lay them soon and Ill be more on top of keeping the hide moist.

    If it's glowing pink when candling then it sounds like a good egg. Infertile eggs glow yellow. Good luck with it.
