    Aww man...

    So I bought a normal girl back in April literally a day or so after she produced a small 3 egg clutch ( which went completely unnoticed by the keeper). The lady I bought her from is keeping the eggs in her incubator. Possible sire is a mojave or a pastel. Either way, we're all waiting for the estimated hatch date and that should be about July 4th or so. I also posted a thread about a new rack that Im building to accomadate 3 hatchlings and 2 adults, as those are the planned additions. SO anyways I get a text today from her saying one of the eggs has gone bad, one is dimpling and the last one is good. =/ Here's a pic, wish us luck!

    yeah that medium looks like it too wet it discoloring the eggs( water stain) that whyI like the light disfuser on top the eggs can get the moisture but they not getting over wet like those appear to be.

    I'd say you have 2 good eggs. One was probably a dud/unfertilized from the beginning.
    Check the moisture, but I think you may be OK there. The eggs have gone this far and still look good. Sometimes eggs aren't completely pure white. I've had whole clutches that have looked all blotchy colored like yours and they did fine.
    The dimpling is normal and the two good eggs will probably both do this.
    I would check moisture, but otherwise not touch a thing.

    Re: Aww man...

    Well that's the first Ive ever seen of the eggs since the day I bought the normal. Ive never incubated so I wouldnt know...I just figured she knew what she was doing because she breeds JCPs. Ill text her now. Any suggestions how to ease up on the moisture? Theres only like 3 weeks left...will they make it under current conditions?

    she can add more vermiculite to the mixture to try and absorb some of the moisture.

    You can also just set them on something off the substrate cut you a little peice of styrofoam plate and set them on it..anything that wouldn't soak up water or hinder the humidity should work..
