    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 came back from a camping trip and was doing my snake cages when i found 3 slugs eggs on top of the bedding and found 2 whole yellowish, hard, and dimpled eggs under the bedding. i left the 2 were they were. these are the first eggs that i have ever found and don't know what to do? i could see veins through the eggs and didn't know if they were still good or not. please any advice.
 
If the eggs are an ivory white color, there is a good chance they are good. However, if the eggs are more yellowish, they are likely not fertilized. If you are not sure, you might as well set them up just in case. A good simple incubation medium is ~50% water and ~50% vermiculite. Basically you want the medium to be damp but not dripping wet. If you do a search here there are a few good threads on how to incubate eggs (it is similar for most species except for incubation temperatures).
 
Id say set em up you never know! I hatched some king eggs for my first time last yr & was preaty stoked on it! I had only hatched beardie eggs up until the king eggs & the eggs were in horible shape! Hard & dehydrated got them in perlite acouple days after they were laid & they hatched acouple months later & out of 9 eggs 7 babyies hatched. was preaty cool to see something ealse besides a beardie work its way out of an egg!
 
Yes it may be worth the chance to set them up,but if they are yellow don't be disappointed if they don't hatch.Best and most simplistic way to set up your eggs is with vermiculite.Get shoebox drill some small holes along the sides toward the top of the box,nail hole size,fill box 3/4 with vermiculite then moisten vermic with water until wet not soaked make sure you have the lid to the box,pick up the eggs without rollong them in any way set them straight back down in the vermic the same way you picked them up,stick them 3/4 of the way down in the vermic,cover with the lid,keep @ 82-85 degrees for 54-62 days average and if they are fertile you should have babies! any futher info call(772-240-3456) ask for george
