Why would some eggs start to cave in all of a sudden. They are suppose to hatch in about 2 weeks and the last 2 days they are starting to look like they are sinking in . Any help would be greatly appreciated .Thanks-Lou
They could closer along than expected and starting to collapse. They could also possible be to dry. What is your humidity like? Have you candled them to see if they are viable? lou
is it safe to “candle” reptile eggs? I was always under the impression that moving reptile eggs could kill the embryos. — In diamondbackterrapins@yahoogroups.com, Jason Petersen
Lou…what are the color of the eggs? Are they a paper white or a pinkish color? Do the eggs have any mold on them? is the media and incubator well hydrated? What temperature are you incubating at? What type of incubator are you using? How long many days have the eggs been incubating? All these questions need to be answered before anyone can give an answer that is perhaps helpful. rcftx
