Crap. thanks anyways

[matt_winter]

how often do they lay eggs after the first clutch?

[drewlowe]

They look bad from the pics, but wait and see if they cave in. I've had some healthy babies hatch out of eggs that i thought was no good. Mine used to lay every 3-4 weeks.

what gives them away as infertile? the colour? Thanks

Yes by looking at the yellowish tinge on the eggs would give them away as being infertile. You can either wait a few days to check and see if candiling will show anything or just wait it out and see what happens when you have eggs that look like this or similer.

BAH! those dont look like complete lost causes! let them sit for a few more weeks, you never know.

Never give up that early, ive had yellow nasty looking eggs hatch.

I agree with AHLizards, when in doubt, keep on going. Sometimes the little guys pop out of the moldiest, dingiest looking eggs :eek: In a week or two, try candling the eggs. This can be done easiest by holding them up to a thin flashlight. If you see any vein growth or pinkish colour, your eggs are fertile ;)

alright thanks
