[patches3]

hello, i am new here and am looking for some advice on my bearded dragon eggs. this is my second clutch ever and the first was infertile. this one looks better bt its been awhile and i cant accurately tell if they are fertiler or not. so i will add photos so you can see the appearance and whats inside. they are 2 weeks old and there is something visible inside. their are 16. fetile or not? thanks.....View attachment 4743 View attachment 4744 View attachment 4745 View attachment 4747

Since I cannot really look at the pics. There are ways to tell if they're fertile. You can candle them and see if there's veins inside, the eggs are white and not an off-white. I haven't had any eggs yet from my female that are infertile. She hasn't had the 'urges to dig or eat less' or even 'poop less'. Just don't tell her yet. I guess she's not ready to lay eggs. But I think any adults over a year can and will. Mine hasn't brumated this year. She still eats the same.

Try re-posting your photos. For some reason they aren't working

They look like they may have been fertile at one time, but to me, they do not appear to be healthy or even alive at the time of the photos being taken.

The thermometers that you are using are not suited for this application & will not give you accurate temps. Even if they were accurate, the temps are not near warm enough, should be in the vicinity of the optimal temps of 82-88F. Digital thermometers with a remote sensor\probe is a much better choice.

Are you housing the Male with the Female constantly?​

i have another one outside to measure humidity and temp that is attached to the lid and a digital one i took out to take the picture. i have it at 82 degrees incase of the heat in my room makes the heat spike up in the incubator. do you think any of the 16 may survive? if you want any other photo just tell me what they are of. why are the eggs the color they are? i was told it was because of calcium and i was also told from others that they are fine. thanks.

this is a pic of them the day i dug them up

any other comments?

They look healthy in the pic taken just after digging them up, but my view still stands about the first set of photos you posted.

Are you housing the Male with the Female constantly?

Is Bearded Dragon Co-habitation a good plan?

the thing is thatt they were seperated around a year ago and the first infertile clutch was laid a month after so why were they laid so late now? i know that they store sperm for an extended period o time but this long?

Hi, They are definitely fertile. Let them go term.We have had eggs look like these and still hatch.

They were seperate about a year ago and the eggs came after like i said together, before that tey were together for a month or two. Thanks for the help, i was really stuck on this clutch. Is tha color from calcium or something?

 

[gilliesexotics]

Hi, the grey/darker coloring you see is probably the growing neonate. You being able to see this is probably from low calcium levels within the female during the time she produced the eggs.

Do you have a picture of yours with the same color? Does anyone have a picture of a beardie egg candled at 2-3 weeks
