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.

Maggots!
Well my troublesome clutch of eggs that started to die.... has been holding its own at 10 good eggs, and two blue eggs (attached to good eggs) .... now one of the two blue eggs is crawling with maggots... but it's attached to three good eggs.
Suggestions?
Reptile relief on the bad egg?
Sevin Dust on the bad egg?
Bug spray on all the eggs?
Ignore it and hope the bugs when they mature won't "get into" the good eggs?
Try to remove the bad egg from the good eggs by ... dismembering the top egg? (but wont the 'goo' seep down onto the good eggs?... or coudl I turn them briefly while I did surgery to remove the bad stuff?)
My recently laid clutch of king eggs from sunday (in three egg boxes) has one of those three boxes that opened "smelly" and I believe it is the very first egg laid... looked viable, but I'm thinking it's bad... but not sure. Do I wait until it turns green?
Suggestions? Advice?

Oh dear!! Sasheena, can't you just pick away all the maggots and then keep the box closed so no new eggs can be laid in there? To get them out of the bad eggs, you can use a syringe and peroxide the suckers! LOL! Just shoot some peroxide in, the maggots will come up with the bubbles, and there you go.

I was successful in removing the foul eggs and leaving the good ones unmolested. I used new substrate and bottled water. Tap water is, I think, more than half of my problem. Hopefully all will be well with the remainder.

Update on this clutch....
The ten remaining eggs....
One baby was "dead in egg".... made it full term.
The "Shriveled/Wrinkled/Pronounced Dead by those who saw the picture" egg yielded up a very pretty spotted king.
So 9 eggs from the clutch, which is great.
