I got my first clutch of 5 eggs and they are looking pretty terrible already idk if they are going to make it. This clutch was unexpected, i bought the female and she must have already been gravid but i didnt know it, i had my kids for a weekend and hadnt checked on her for a few days and when i did there was 5 eggs in her tub. I didnt have an incubator because i wasnt expecting any eggs so i decided to let her incubate them for a few days but after about a day and a half she was just sitting beside them not on top of them and it got kind of cold at night (maybe 69-70) but on what i think was the 3rd day (not sure exactly which day she laid cuz i hadnt checked in a few days) i went to a reptile expo and bought a zoomed reptibator and put the eggs in a tub and into the incubator. I didnt see ANY condensation on the lid so i thought it would be ok to leave the lid off the tub they are in and idk if it was just the humidity or if condensation dripped on them but they got a little wet and after that i noticed white hairlike mold on them so i wiped them off with a dry towel but now it is only day 11 or 12 and they are really shriveling up and dont look very healthy at all. I cant seem to find a flashlight around the house so i tried candling them with the flashlight on my phone and i do see veins in a few of them but doesnt look like very many, and a few of them my phones light just isnt bright enough and it just looks dark cant see anything. Is there anything i can do at this point or do they look like they might be goners already? Heres a pic.
Oh and since theyve been in the incubator they have been at a constant 90 degrees and 71-74% humidity
