My condolences. I haven't gotten eggs yet so I don't know what it's like to lose an egg, but I definitely know what it's like to lose an animal. I've lost three reptiles in my experience. One Mali uromastyx, which my dad froze to death by turning off his heat lamp in November four years ago, a baby sulcata tortoise who became severely dehydrated after an impaction (I removed the impaction myself very very carefully and he was doing great and then not so great and then passed) and recently I lost a Moroccan uromastyx who was highly disabled from the beginning. He didn't really have a huge shot at life but I rescued him anyways.
