second fertile clutch some are shrinking

[kingsleysandoval]

my female 1yo laid her second clutch last week. she's been bred a few times (month before) before she laid her second clutch. now, it's about a week after she has laid her second clutch and i noticed some (majority) are shrinking but NO SIGNS of molding. could the humidity be low? or the eggs are just bad? :/ thanks!

picture would give us a better idea. Usually if low humidity egg will still be bright white, but indent. If shrinking and discolored usually means bad eggs. Although I had some pretty ugly eggs hatch.

I would have to assume that those eggs are infertile....it happens. Especially, in a second clutch where the female has not mated since the first clutch...
She will retain some but more eggs will be infertile due to it being the second clutch...

I would recommend leaving them for now if they are not badly discolored or moldy...
