Caving eggs?

Icefire · 04-13-04, 09:10 PM

I got 2 of my 8 leo eggs that look like if I have pushed my thumbs
on on them. they are 1 months old (march 13th) and I guess
it's 100% humidity ( water on the top of the egg box )
it's in a foam box with 2 inch water and water heater, a 79-80F

they are still bright red when I candle them from top with a flash
light.

Eggs that appear sunken in are not always too dry. As they approach closer to the hatch date all reptile eggs start to "suck in" some. It is a result of the "specimen" inside using up all the contents inside & most eggs will go that way in the final stages of incubation. Biggest mistake made is to think that they are not humid enough when the humidity is probably fine. People want to add water & end up drowning things. A Leo breeder can probably be more help as far as temps & how long they take to hatch. I'm just a snake guy LOL Mark

It's about 2-3 weeks before hatching (total of 8 approximately)

they are clean white no fungus no nothing on it

I was leaving them like this anyway so I'll wait

I AM HAVING LEOPARDS LAY EGGS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I WAS WONDERING A COUPLE THINGS.
HOW LONG ARE EGGS USUALLY VISIBLE INSIDE LOEPARDS BEFORE THEY ARE LAID?
I'M WAITING FOR TWO GECKOS TO LAY EGGS, SHOULD THEY BE IN SEPARATE AQUARIUMS?
HOW BIG DOES THE CONTAINER NEED TO BE FOR EGG LAYING?

I NEED ALL THE ADVICE I CAN GET
THANK YOU
