advice needed

my girl just laid eggs not an hour ago. i wanted advice on seperating the eggs from each other without tearing the shells. any ideas or do i need to worry?

If they are stuck together, leave them together. It is not worth the risk of seperating them if you need to force it.

I have hatched clutches that were stuck together with no problems what so ever.

My advice:

Leave them ALONE... and pop them in the incubator!

thats pretty much what i thought, but wanted to make sure, but will it hurt the eggs on the bottom if they are buried in the vermeculite?

For eggs that are stuck together, I don't try to separate. Also when I mix the vermeculite, I ensure it has just enough water so it clumps (usually a 4 part V to 1 part water ratio)...

After it's mixed I add a DRY layer over the top, for eggs that are clumped I make an indent & still do the dry layer. Then I cover the container. Covered containers are easier to keep the inside temp & high RH constant. Wet conditions are not good for the eggs, think "humid".

Get them situated & keep the fuss time to a minimum & you should be fine.
