Bad egg :(

[BHReptiles]

Aww I'm sorry about the bad egg. Hopefully the little guy pulls through for ya!! Thank goodness the others seem to be doing well. Was the egg pushed out by mom when she laid them or anything?

Nope! Mom had all 11 wrapped up tightly.

Can you wipe the egg off and candle it again to see how it stands? How is the smell?

There are two types of moldy eggs, those that candle good and have high chances of going full term and those that no longer have veins (those will develop a very foul smell), those are obviously dead.

It's sad but it happens, the more clutches the more likely you will be to encounter slugs, eggs dying and worse. Sometimes some eggs are just not meant to be, I had clutches where all the eggs but one went bad so it happens for no apparent reasons.

The egg has no foul odor. It's still a good egg based on smell alone. I wiped it down good, candled it, and gave it another coat of glue on the effected areas. I -think- I see pretty red veins, but it was very hard to see. So far I'm pretty sure the egg is still fine but it just has me worried based on it's appearance (both the mold and the dimples).

Here's a picture of the egg. I just put another coat of glue on the effected areas so that's what's shiny...it's not water. I've also got the tub slightly elevated on top of one CD case so the water drains down the press-n-seal and not on the eggs.
