Yep, good point Jason, never give up on them!
I agree Mark, and this is a flawed way of thinking in my opinion. At some point, someone else was willing to share with me in the past and helped me through it. In fact those folks that helped me are all from Fauna. I could show a 100 pictures of pearly white eggs, but then we might not learn as much from each other.
FYI:
Picture 1: Egg was obviously dead - it was my first clutch ever, I didn't realize it at the time OR rather hoped I could save it. It was dead, lesson learned!
Picture 2: Is picture number 1 minus the dead egg. I had left the dead egg on there too long and it was affecting the other 2 eggs. So all the white paste looking stuff on the egg is from me spraying athletes foot spray on the eggs to try to kill the mold. It worked and both babies made it! A trick someone from Fauna taught me.
There has been many cases where if someone didnt share with me the negative side of things then i would have screwed up also. These people were people i have talked to before and all the pics and discussion were through PM. I think people should be more open and honest especially for the new guys that come in. Not only could we all find a reason to why something happened but educate people on the do nots of this industry. Some of greatest problems in life have been solved through discussion not by secret. Dont be scared! Be open! People will respect that more...
