Hello everyone. I have a clutch of Veiled eggs that are currently incubating in a drawer and look great, I think, however, I have a friends that laided eggs 2 weeks after mine and his are already hatching. This is our first round of babies so I have bee checking them often. I have them in vermiculite which is moist when I pinch test it. The eggs are not sunk in and have been growing, twice the size of the eggs she laid in November. I candled them and I can see the babies laying on the bottom of the egg and red blood supply to them. It seems like the babies are not taking up a large percentage of the egg that I would expect them to this far into the process. She laid this clutch at the beginning of May. I would say they are only taking up approximately 1/3 of the space in the egg. Not sure if something happened during the process or if they need more time. I ordered an incubator yesterday and should be getting it tomorrow, should I try to put them in the incubator or is it better to leave them be in the dark drawer. In the past I have always used an incubator however this time I thought I would do it without. We live in Florida and keep our house 74 degrees, winter or summer. I also have another clutch of veilds and a small clutch of panthers. If the eggs went bad would they decay and mold the same as they do right after they are laid.
