    Advice Please

    I had my first clutch of BP eggs ever, they were unexpected so I ordered an incubator right away however it's going to take neraly 1-2 weeks to get here. Got some vermiculate followed advice I read on other BP forums, but this is what they first looked like and then now look like after 2-3 days.. Are they just really bad what should I do? the humidity / temp is 89-90 in that order so I didnt' think that was the problem, I moistened the verm just to loosely snowball type moisture, and now im just not srue.. it doe sslightly smell but when i wiped the eggs gently there was no mold or anything coming off its just green and confuses the hell out of me.

    Those look really bad. Also, have you candled them lately? The mold wont wash away. I have a feeling that those eggs are no good, but you can keep them for a couple more days and see what happens.

    That's what I think I'm gonna candle these after reading up from the previous post, and make sure just to be safe, but they didn't look really right from the start.

    Haha that's what I thought the first time I heard the term "candle". I was like .."Do I need to use a candle...?" Just use a flash light on your phone or something. (: Veins = fertile. If there are no veins the eggs will mold quickly, if I understand everything correctly.

    Thanks

    Thanks to everyone whose replied, we should get rid of the eggs they're all no good as you've all mentioned sadly our girls first clutch was no good, but at least when we have her try purposely in the future we will have the incubator here when we need it rather than all the places you could order from saying . .1-2 weeks wait time (which is just weird.. no one has overnight? lol)

    The mama's doing good no loss for her she'll have more babies in the future I'm sure. Thanks again
