Once eggs are inubating, through the months will the eggs all have different sizes? Some look bigger then others...And some are oval and some looks like a circle and oval together. Are these signs good or bad. None has mold, all still look white

Have you tried candling them? Fertile eggs will get bigger as they age. What kind of eggs?

panther chameleon nosy be. It gets to hot for me lol or is there a way to candle without getting to close? But i did use a pocket light. Most are pink and some eggs have a bloch of pink. What im worried about is the shape...it just doesnt look like a proper oval anymore.

Well meow, the only egg experience I've had is with leos, but your eggs sound like they're doing fine. If you're seeing pink, then I wouldn't worry to much 'bout the shapes, IMO. As long as there's no mold or caving in they should be fine, from my minimal experience.

Hi Meow,

Yes the eggs will take on differant shapes and sizes. Just because a egg is smaller does not mean it is a problem. It could just be developing slower. It could also just be a small baby.

You will also see the appearance of the egg change. The very outter part of the shell might start to crack and look flakey. You might see lines forming. This is all normal.

Eggs that have an over all appearance of pink are in earlier stages of development. The ones with pink blotch's are farther along.
