My first clutch didn't make it

[Ladybugzcrunch]

My mojo decided to drop her eggs while I was on vacation. I am sure they are bad. It was less than a week. She was bred to a black pastel. 4 slugs, and 3 eggs. The eggs smell, are sunken, and two have green on them. I am so sad. I put the eggs into the incubator that I had running since January just in case but I have little hope. I am so praying that the one without green pulls through but sigh, so so so bad timing. This is her first clutch. Welp, there is always next year I guess.

Sorry dude; I don't know what I would do (or will do) when I start breeding...hang in there man

[Ladybugzcrunch]

Thanks guys (I am a gurl BTW) I am going to candle them now just in case. I really was hoping for a black magic from her.

Well the one that I thought had no green on it actually does have a small green spot. BUT it has weak veins. The other two have no veins that I can see. I put the whole box back in, no harm done incubating them. I have such bad luck.Please cross your fingers for the one egg that has veins.

I'm rooting for the one egg to make it.

I'm SO sorry.

Did her maternal instincts not kick in?

[Ladybugzcrunch]

I guess not, she was not coiled around the eggs at all and was not upset when I removed her. The eggs were in her hide but not together. Only one slug was stuck to an egg all the others had space between them.

So sorry for your loss. Hope the one egg makes it. Keep us posted. Fingers crossed. Here's to a healthy clutch next year.
