Some of them also have a brownish tint to them. I sure hope she didnt lay 7 slugs.

    So after some scrambling today to get things set up they are in the incubator now and im gonna see what happens.

    How long should I wait to offer her a meal?
    You can candle the eggs with a small flashlight to look for veins.Is it possible to post a pic of them?

    Just an update:...First off I appreciate the help in dealing with this but the female def layed 7 slugs. I am a bit disappointed for sure but I definitely learned alot through the process so hopefully this will help me the next time around.
    Still hoping on 2 more big females this year to come thru for me.
    They are still in the incubator just because I cant get myself to throw em out lol.

    Trust me, once they start stinking you will throw them out! Sorry to hear about the slugs.

    Sorry about the slugs... that sucks big time.

    And on a side note, there's a reason why Markus Jayne's website is confusing - because they made a MAJOR typo!! I've been meaning to email them about this, but in the breeding section they mislabel the "pre-lay" shed as a "pre-ovulation" shed. Confused the heck out of me, until I figured out the mistake.
