Third clutch of eggs

Hi Guys,

Elvira laid her 3rd clutch today. I have been putting her in the laybox when I go home at lunch and letting her go back in the enclosure with Boo before bedtime so she get settled on her log. I started offering her the laybox last Friday and today was 19 days between the 2nd and 3rd clutch. It was 19 days between the 1st and 2nd also.

Of course she didn't lay in the laybox. She had them under a rock in her enclosure with Boo looking on..she was finishing up right as I came home for lunch so I got them up and put them in the incubator but I didn't even count how many there were.

This is the question I have...should I incubate the eggs that are squishy?

There are some eggs that really look good with nice firm but slightly flexible shells, they are large and off white in color. The ones that look like these in the prior clutches are plump and growing.

There are some eggs that seem to have a really soft shell and they have dents and are really mushy and most are much smaller. They also seem to be more of a yellow or peach color. I kept the eggs like these in the first 2 clutches and eventually they have started to wither up and turn black so I took them out and froze them. Some of them were really dented and almost had folds in them but the moisture from the perlite or vermiculite plumped them up but they never got a harder shell or seemed to grow.

So do I keep the squishy ones?

Thanks....Angie
