Update: The egg is still doing fine, no mold and doesn't seem too wet or dry, and there are plenty of veins when I candle it, and the seem to be getting bigger. I'm trying not to handle it too much, but I opened the incubator yesterday to put in cricket eggs (I'm trying to breed crickets and I'm trying different incubation methods. CHE, UTH, and incubator) and figured that while it was open I'd candle the egg. I didn't take it out, just opened it and put the flashlight by it. Showed me enough.
I can now see the eggs thru Lenetta's belly. I can see both of them, which, if it's anything like last time, means she'll probably lay in the next 3 days or so.
And I'm trying to stay busy to keep myself from going crazy over the eggs. I'm trying to breed crickets, starting breeding mealworms again, and getting an enclosure ready for the Asian forest scorpion I (hopefully) will be getting.
Isn't it cool to candle the eggs, especially when they're doing well? That's how I candle them too- in place, not touching or handling. And soon, with any luck, you'll have more!
