Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Eggs... sprung a leak?
No I am not retarded, the babies did not cut the eggs.. I don't think anyway.. But something has happened that has never happened before.. and I'm perplexed..
18 days until the projected hatch date, 13 days until I usually cut on day 55.. I got to air out the eggs like I've been doing every day for the past 3 days as hatch day draws near, I stick my finger in the substrate to test the wetness and notice a "clump" of substrate stuck to one side of an egg.. that's when I notice.. It's... leaking? Not a lot, just a spec. I've heard of people patching "popped" eggs before, so I try my hand at it.. no go. it just splurts out a blob. The hole was no bigger than a pin head!
So I make the decision to cut the egg, in the theory that if I make an incision in the top and turn the egg into "a bowl" for the liquid, instead of a water balloon, baby might have a better chance. Baby looks fine, is moving, lots of yolk! the leakage problem is under control and then I notice.. another one did it!!
THEY AREN'T EVEN DIMPLING YET!! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING IN THERE, DANCING WITH SWORDS?!?!
So I cut that one too.
Both babies seem fine for now.
It just was a very strange experience.
I guess it could have been a baby incision.. just seems a little early to me since they hadn't even dimpled yet.
Ever happened to any of you before?

Ok, that's funny as heck! Hope the little ones make it.
I've successfully used liquid bandage to seal up a leaker. Put some on let it dry, put some more on, repeat until it stops leaking.

Now THAT's funny!  On a serious note though, I know that Rhacodactylus eggs tend to leak on occasion and breeders use a piece of paper towel to put over the hole, and it usually closes it up no problem. I've also heard of liquid bandage being used with success. Of course they are different types of eggs but I figured I'd chime in. Keep us posted.

I also read somewhere of someone using a regular ol' band-aid to patch a leaky egg. I've never tried it, though.
