well i have 2 eggs in my incubator that should be hatching in the next couple days:) but i was looking at them both today and there both fertile and i was candling them and i can see the veins in both and one is a completly pink egg inside of what i can see from candeling and the other is yellow i have never seen my eggs do this before but i bred the female with my new albino male does that maybe have anything to do with it :confused:

I have had pairs of eggs where one is fertile and the other is not. I've had the infertile ones last without caving in or discoloring until the other one hatched, I waited patiently for the other but it never hatched even though they both looked okay. Maybe one is fertile and one is not? Keep them both going and maybe you'll get lucky. :D

I believe that the yellow means that its infertile? sorry if this is true:(

i am 100% sure they r fertile i can see the veins realy clearly and the eggs are perfect and an infertile egg wouldnt last 43 days

Well I hope that all is well with them both. I have had infertile last as long as fertile, but I suppose that the veins rules that out altogether. Perhaps it'll be a small baby leo. I am sorry that I cannot help more.:(

Yes, please do. I'm waiting for some of my own albinos to hatch, but most of my eggs have dark spots. That would be cool if the albinos showed up as yellow eggs! Well, except that it would mean mine aren't albinos. *sigh*

well it probably dosent mean anything because no one has ever said anything about noticing it but who knows the eggs still havent hatched tomorow is 45 days in the incubator i have been incubateing them at 83 degree's farenheit so the eggs should hatch soon

My albino eggs, are WAY lighter in colour than the normals (inside, not the shell). I think they do have a noticeable colour difference, but i dont know for sure. It makes sense, because when they are that far along the black bands/head are really noticeable, but if they were a light pink (like the albino's) why would tehy appear as dark. Make an interesting experiment.

I'm still too paranoid to handle my eggs after I put them in the incubator. I keep on thinking I'll damage them. I have 6 eggs and haven't candled any of them.

I agree with kyle if your sure that their fertile and you did breed to an albino the yellow egg probly is an albino.

well one of the egg hatched completly not the albino but the baby is realy bright yellow and has a circle on its back so its a jungle and its parents were a high yellow and a tangerine so it will be nice to see what it looks like in awhile the albino eggs still havent hatched
