Don't throw those old eggs away!

So, you have some eggs that haven't hatched in 13 1/2 months and you are sure that they are either infertiles or the babies died or..... You need the space and are thinking of tossing the box. DON'T!!!!

About 4 months ago (hey Danny, how old are they???) I had 2 Verrucosus Chameleon eggs hatch and the babies grew fast. They were adorable and were rehomed in a blink of an eye. I had 26 eggs and 3 turned yellow and shriveled leaving 21 eggs just sitting there in the box. I checked up on them every now and again and nothing. I candled them and didn't see anything inside. Really, I was going to toss them, but they just didn't shrivel.

Well, today I looked and found a little baby running around. WOW! I have high hopes for the rest of the 20 eggs. I may still be seeing some more emerging.

Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of the 26 verrucosus eggs.

good news! congrats on the hatching

I had panther eggs sit for over 13 months before hatching too. Not unheard of. so you're right - NEVER toss white unmolded eggs!
