    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Ok, So this is my 2nd and last clutch of the year, Bee x Normal. Yesterday afternoon I looked in the tub and found 1 egg WAY away from her and her hide. It was cone shaped and looked wierd. I grabbed it and set it in the incubater. all day and all night I was checking on her. 1 more egg around 4 in the morning then around 8 am she droped 6 more but I could see there was more. about 10 she dropped the last one. They are all small between 77 and 93 grams, all wierd shapes and SUPER plyable shells. The first one instantly sunk in. So I Candeled them all.. #3-9 seem great, not the best viens but they are there. #2 has some small viens but is yellow on the inside and not redish like the others. #1 is almost completely sunk in and a deep yellow on the inside, but seems to have better viens then the rest.....


And one have a clue???

Will add a pic in a few once the camera battery is charged again.
 
Pics will help, but I've seen eggs with barely any veins in the beginning, grow some within a few days.
 
Here are a few pics of the clutch. Sorry the candeling picks didn't turn out good. but you can see what I mean.

although i do see viening in it after a second look i think not enough moisture in substrate thats why sunken in. i would add a little more water to vermiculite and then bury eggs 3/4 of the way in not just sit on top this should solve sunken egg problem
 
Whenever I have some eggs that I'm unsure of, I just incubate them like normal. After the first week I check to make sure nothing is already going bad, as it can cause some good eggs to mold. Good luck with all of them!!
 
I agree with Matt just incubate I had one that was indented like that one and hatched out fine. Just keep it until the others pip and then cut it and see whats up inside.
 
Yep, just put 'em in the incubator and see what happens after a week.

I had one in my current clutch that was almost entirely yellow when it was laid, but it turned out fine! (They're on Day 49.)
 
Well. Egg 1 was completely covered in mold and sunk in more. Pulled it out and checked inside it. It was empty. But egg 2 is looking good. !
