    Update on Too Wet Eggs and Candling!

    Hey everyone! Thanks to all who posted help and opinions when I asked about one of these clutches a month ago. The short story is my incubation medium was too wet, and several eggs were showing damp discoloration. The worst is pictured here at the time I asked for help a month ago:



    I got everything corrected, and today all of the eggs except the worst off look completely normal. The worst off is still a bit discolored, and there is a mild line of mold separating normal egg from affected egg. The bottom of the egg, which was most severely affected, is weaker and dimpling, but I think it will make it just fine. Here is it nestled in among its clutchmates today on day 49:



    And here, just for giggles, are some candling pics of the clutch in question and a second clutch laid 4 days later.

    That first picture wasn't even that bad! If I show you a picture of the egg that is currently hatching, you wouldn't worry so much. It dimpled, it got green and moldy. Pretty much looked dead. Except right now there's a beautiful BEL sitting in it.
