    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....

I've been having this problem that I really can't figure out. The eggs in my incubator are placed apart from each other, buried about 3/4 of the way up to the shell, and some of them hatch out ok, while others die before hatching. Some of the eggs collapse, and others just turn moldy but either way I've given most of them 2 days to hatch (after collapsing or turning moldy) and after the 2 days is up I cut them open to find (usually) a fully developed leo inside!!! Can anyone explain this to me and does anyone know how to stop it?

I read the last thread about "rolling," and although I didn't know eggs rolled themselves while they developed, I am about 90% sure that none of the surviving hatchlings have turned the eggs, as I'm pretty good about getting them out and away from the other eggs shortly after hatching.

If anyone could give me some insight or advice on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
I don't know unless your humidity level is to high. Also try just burying the eggs a fourth of the way up the shell maybe that will help. It happens to me sometimes but the leo is usually underdeveloped. What kind of stuff are u incubating them in ? ie perlite or verniculite ? Might try switching it and see if that helps also.
