Found a great new penLight for Candling eggs

i came across this light a while back, It rocks at Candling eggs, I got it at Wal Mart for less than $5 so they shouldnt be hard to find, and the batteries are replacable, so it should last a while unlike some of the other penlights.
Just thought i would share.


Here is a pic of it in the package, so it will make it easier to find, and it does come with batteries.


The bulb and lense are recessed back a little, seems to fit eggs perfectly.

Thanks Terry...I'm going to pick one up this afternoon

Also, I'm not new to breeding leopards, but I am fairly new to candling...I did it a few nights ago because I've gotten a few more "duds" than normal lately...my question is, when it comes to candling if you see the "red glow" and some veins do you usually assume that it is fertile? ...as opposed to the "greenish/yellow" glow of an infertile egg? ...and do you ever get "something inbetween" (the other night I saw a greenish glow but with some veins showing...) I'm tired of seeing infertile eggs grow at the same rate as fertile ones and getting my hopes up only to be disappointed!

...any input ya'll can offer would be appreciated

Speaking of infertile eggs!
I know this is going to "freak"
some of you out, but I feed the infertile eggs to my tegus and they love them.
Hey, waste not want not! LOL

I think that's great!! It's better than letting them go to waste.

No I was just kidding!
The one I fed this morning was "way" old, I had left it in the incubator for extra long time, and it remained clear (actually yellowish) No vein's whatsoever.
Believe me I would never take a chance at losing one of my precious little babys.
