Re: egg question
I agree that some very good points were made and that many reptile breeders feel that turning the eggs is bad. The book KevinS quotes gives citations but I don't know that those citations refer to actual experimental data or hypothesis ( what's the plural of hypothesis?).
I am not recommending turning the eggs but I am not sure putting a mark on the top is necessary either. How do we know the eggs haven't already been rolled around by Mom prior to us even finding them? We may then have marked the wrong side!
I guess one year I should take a clutch and incubate half right side up and half turned over and see if there is a difference in hatch rates or deformities. I could then add to Chuck's (Serpwidget's) data.
