    Re: Some input on if this egg will survive or not

    I don't know exactly how old they are, but they must be somewhere between 10-5 days. They had no contact with the pellets in the box since my snake had pushed the pellets away, but she had laid them inside a hide, so the air must have been pretty bad in there (considering she also cramped herself in there with the eggs that started to mold)
    I'm pretty sure the eggs have the dents in them because it's been too dry, but I don't quite understand the mold and odd colors. Will dry eggs start to mold and smell?

    I've placed the egg in a plastic-box with damp vermeculite and the temperature is about 28. I've been breeding different geckos over the years, so I know the vermeculite is okay damp.
    Mold happens because the eggs were not fertile (slugs). The one with veins can get mold on it from the other eggs, but can be wiped off if it happens. I hope this helps, and good luck.
