Egg size getting smaller :(

[chamillion]

Hi everyone. My female panther laid 19 eggs 7 months 8 days ago. They are incubating at between 74.3-75.2 fahrenhayt. So I'm waiting for them hatching at these times. But Today suddenly I realized something with one egg today. It is smaller than yesterday. Then I saw some liquid like yolk. What is happening ? Is it dead ?

Congratulations they're about to hatch, I think that they might start to hatch in the next couple of days!

really ? I'm not sure about this. Because this is not sweating. Are you sure ? I hope you are sure

We'll let's wait and see. Some of our eggs did that before they hatched.

Thanks for advice. I'm worried about eggs. I hope they will start hatching soon. It is very difficult to wait them

 

[Micky23]

At least I hope so.

 

[chamillion]

Nothing changed today. I'm still waiting for them

What is happening to my eggs ??? This is the 3rd egg that get smaller. Why this is happening ?

 

[chamillion]

Might have to hydrate your soil a little? Is it still moist enough?

I think it is moist enough thank you for advice

If it's a lack of moisture in the substrate the eggs would be caving in, these aren't doing this they are shrinking uniformly. If they don't pip within a couple of days after shrinking they're probably not going to hatch; they will probably mold. If the female is not in peak health when bred, the embryos will still develop until hatching time but will be too weak to hatch and die inside the egg. When one of these eggs is cut open you'll see a fully formed neonate that is still curled up around a small yellow yolk sac.

This is a very good reply for me. So will all the clutch are too weak for hatching or only some of them are too weak. If yes, what should I do with molding eggs ?

I would suggest wait till the last minutes to see if is fully molded eggs,then throw them away.

 

[chamillion]

I cut one of it.

 

[alphakenc]

Is it still moving??

But should get them from other eggs. Maybe molded eggs can be harm for others

No it is dead I think

I dont think molded eggs will harm others as long you kept ur humidity correctly so it wont mold the whole batch.
