What about in my case? I assume they are still considered slugs? All of my eggs were great until day 18 when I noticed one starting to deflate and turn green and I could see the veins disintegrating on the second egg when I candled it. The second egg lasted till day 23, but I lost it too. They all had veins from day one, but those two eggs had much smaller/fewer veins. Do you think that was because of the parent's fertility?

We were thinking is was an issue with thermoregulating in the smaller tubs.
