OMG! OK - a little back story - I acquired an adult female crested from Emily over Thanksgiving (one that she was planning to retire). She felt that she was probably done laying eggs, but brought me a nesting box with soil and moss, as well as a small container with some hatch rite for incubating just in case. Since I'm not really interested in breeding cresties (I'm crestie impaired), we agreed if there were any more eggs resulting in babies, they belong to her.

This morning I'm checking all the critters, lift up the nesting box and see one egg (there are actually two in there). It's moist while not damp, so I'm not moving them yet. Should I mark them with an x with pencil and carefully move them so that the X is on top in the hatchrite?

I feel certain, since they incubate at room temp that they are fine for now until I get some answers.

Emily is on a family retreat this weekend, I've already placed an SOS call with her, but if anyone with experience can chime in, I'd appreciate it!
