Damnit I knew something was wrong with this clutch. 16 eggs 1 slug. 2 days in the incubator and I noticed the majority were getting dimples and had a teal tint to the eggs. Today is day 5 and they looked worse. Separated the good eggs from what i assume are rotting eggs.. 3 eggs are definitely viable potentially a 4th. This breeding has the possibility of producing Snows so I was really hopeful when i saw 16 eggs and one slug that momma had kicked out of the clutch. Maybe we will beat the odds with 3-4 eggs. Total bummer tho. I assume the embryos were not viable from the get go or the eggs started to die shortly after being laid. Going to candle them again tonight and see how many eggs are getting tossed. Still hopeful for another clutch or two but it's getting pretty late in the season.
