Fungus or mold on one Egg?? (need advice)

[maploosh]

It looks like I have some type of fungus or mold on one of my corn snake eggs. Anyone know what to do?

Nothing. Monitor it as you check your eggs & once/if you are totally convinced it is bad remove it if possible. If not leave it. Mold doesn't nessicarily mean its bad & "bad eggs' aren't likely to spoil "good eggs". How long since they have been laid? Sometimes (if it was fairly recently) a few eggs that were never meant to be will start to spoil in the first bit of incubation. Check your humidity level to make sure it is OK & that the eggs aen't too wet (could be the cause?). Good Luck Mark

they were laid about 20 or so days ago. The humidity looks to be good. thanks for the input gonesnakee

Candle it to see if there are visible vessels.

Applying a small amount of athlete's foot powder to the molded areas has been effectively used by some people, who hatched normal babies from the afflicted eggs.

I have hatched eggs with mold on them before, I would just make sure your conditions are good and leave them alone. As already said the bad ones wont hurt the good ones.
