have a little problem

[exiled reptile]

my normal girl marly just laid a clutch of eggs 3 were slugs 5 healthy one has what appears to have white mold on it the eggs are stuck together so i don't want to try to separate them for fear of damaging the other eggs please help as i don't really know much about hatching a clutch

There a ton of things you can or can't do. Its up to you if you want to be a mad scientist or not. You (i assume)are incubating the eggs yourself , so you already are stepping in and you can leave it at that (in my experience(as well as my highly experienced peer, Ben) mold on eggs do not transfer to others). Other pros could tell you to use an antifungal foot powder and that may in fact stop the mold. Some pros could also tell you u can isolate that egg from the clutch with the use of dental floss. Whatever you decide . . . happy herping

I'm not sure I understand. Were you expecting the clutch or not?

please help as i don't really know much about hatching a clutch

Here's how to set up an egg tub just in case.

If you are putting the male in with the female and watching your girl go through pre-lay shed,building and ovulation not to mention the other regular signs. How could you not be expecting eggs?...just not this soon?
I do hope you can save the remaining eggs. Time to do some quick research and praying over the weekend.

What kind of incubation are u using? Let's try to save those 2 little eggs. Give as much detail as possible and add pics if you can.
