Alright so I am gonna show lots of pics to explain what is going on..
My coastal laid 48 eggs.. 7 were defenite duds and were thrown out..
These are the eggs when they were laid .. As u can tell VERY WEIRD - can anyone explain these marks? The nipples?
Day 1
After about 5 days of incubation i oppenned the incubator for the first time .. this is what it looked like ..
Day 5
After day 9 I oppenned it again and there was mold on more then half the eggs.. (my pics are too big too upload those) .. All the brown spots and nipless were growing lots of mold green and brown .. I applied antifugal foot powder and hoped for the best although at that point .. I was sure.. 90% were all going bad or were not fertile to begin with .. theres very few with no mold..
At day 12 I opened again and took a look again .. same scenario .. Mold is not being controlled.. Any suggestion? anyway to clean it or stop em ..
Here is a pic
Day 12
Of course this is really depresing me so I decide to candle em in case..
Good news is .. At least 50% have veins and are red.. many are just yellow though .. I kinda moved the fertiles on one side and the not red on the ether..
Is it possible its still too early for it too be showing red on some of them? The really weird thing is some with the niples and mildew have huge veins in em ...
Alright Now I am really not certain as to what to do .. I have a good 20 fertile eggs in that incubator.. mold or mildew growing everywhere and it makes me feel like pulling all my hair off lol (that is if I was not bald)
Any advise .. any oppinions .. any thoughts on what happenned or what is happenning .. If u need any other info .. let me know ..
Anything .. To those who breed lots of python eggs - please share any experience that could help
Tx in advance everyone
