incubator

Could be.  I've never seen the green mold on eggs before.  I had a corn snake lay 5 eggs and all caved in and molded.

When I started this whole breeding thing I didn't really thing I would have eggs.  Right now I've got 16 eggs in a medium deli container.   I plan on having a separate container for each female within the next week.  I have no more room and I'll probably have 2 more eggs tomorrow.

Congrats... How long have they been incubating?  Make sure to send pics of the babies.

Thank you very much of the explanation and the answers!

It is a very interesting exchange that you make us.

At least, the next year I would not be afraid not to know to make for my first reproduction!!!

I use Lock & Lock containers (Walmart) and drill holes in the lids and sides as the Lock & Lock is air tight when closed.



I put moist perlite into the container, put my eggs in about halfway, with a finger's width between clutches, and leave in my pantry (safest place and cat free).

I've had a few eggs go bad and mold, but no problems with mold actually growing on the perlite.

Nice set up, Thanks for the info. I will be giving that one a try.

I really, really like the Lock & Lock because they lock closed, so no lids accidently popping off, and no risk of a hatchling escaping. They also "claim" 100% humidity and I've actually use a Fluker's Hygrometer so I can watch the temperature and the humidity levels. I know a lot of people don't watch humidity levels, but this is what works for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, lol. So I do what I do.
