Collapsed

[reptilez]

My second leopard gecko egg just collapsed and i was wondering, what are some reasons why the eggs may collapse??

[Burmies]

They could possibly be duds, maybe.

there was a male in there with her for a month or so.

is it your female's first clutch?

[Linds]

If it is infertile or goes bad due to inadequate conditions (ie- too dry), the egg may collapse. How were you keeping it?

[reptilez]

yes it is my females first clutch, (she just laid another clutch a couple days ago). I'm using a hova-Bator, the air temp is between 85-88F. Not sure with humidity, i have a water dish filled with water in there.

If it's her first clutch, thats probably why. First clutches are often duds.
What is your incubation medium? How moist is it?

Im using vermiculite. its wet but not "dripping" wet. It feels moist.

[Zoe]

Sounds fine.

Odds are your next clutch will be fertile :D How do they look so far?

[reptilez]

Nice and white, same as the fist clutch did.
What are some signs of too much heat?

[Zoe]

If your temps are 85-88, then your temps are fine.
