I was so thrilled to announce that my very first clutch of eggs has arrived! My Mojave girl laid a clutch of 6 eggs and one slug a few days ago, exactly 50 days after ovulating. I was very happy........until I CANDLED THEM! Out of 6 perfect eggs, 3 appear to be completely infertile, 2 have veins on only 1/3 of the egg, and only one has strong veins throughout. I am SO disappointed! I separated the three that have veins from the others as they weren't stuck together and put them in the incubator using the substrate-less method @ a steady 89 degrees. I am 100% sure that the other three are no good, but I put them in too just to gain the experience of knowing what it looks like when eggs go bad. I am not very optimistic about the two with weak veins....but we'll see. I couldn't believe that so many eggs could look perfect and be no good. Any ideas what may have caused this to happen????
