Egg oozing yolk

[Macasus]

i have a batch of veiled chameleon eggs about a month old and today i looked at them and 1 egg is oozing out yolk but i touched it and its dry. Anyone else have this happen before? All the other eggs seem healthy. I have had eggs in the past that were infertile then turned moldy and shrink. This is the first time seeing this. Is this egg a goner? Thanks

Anyone ever have oozing yolk? Thanks

I think if it had been white it would be safe. The yolk is usually a bad sign and that's a massive amount of yolk honestly. Usually you can do simple patches for whites and about 60/40 percent of the time the egg will survive and the baby will hatch fine. But.... I have never seen a baby survive this.

What are your incubation methods/temps/humidity? Was this from a virgin female? Has the male been successful in pairings before? Could just be the egg got cracked or something, I don't remember quite how it happens but it can. Did the eggs all look well calcified?

Thanks for the respose. Im just keeping them in a dark closet at room tempurature. All the eggs look white and calcified. This is the only one that oozed out yolk.

Then it's bad, remove it and the surrounding ruined medium with a spoon and throw that out. Don't want any bacteria or mold growth because of the yolk.
