I'm only posting here instead of in 'breeding' because there's been posts on here recently and really need some help ASAP.
My bearded dragon laid 9 fertile eggs. She is very small. She won't be breeding again until old enough. I thought she was a male, so that was my mistake. Anyways. I bought an egg-o-bator incubator. I bought vermiculite. I put it in the tubs that came with the incubator and put water in, then poured all the water out until no more came out when i tipped it. I've set the setting for bearded dragons, put all three tubs in at a slight angle to stop condensation from dripping on the eggs. I put them in on Tuesday and it is now 4 days later, Saturday. I opened the incubator to check on them. Some are still completely white and look fine. There are some however in each box that have very light brown slimy looking stuff on them. It's only on a part of the eggs it's affected and it smells a bit fishy. There is some condensation on the tops of the tubs and it looks as though one or two eggs have tiny condensation droplets on them. What do I do from here? Remove eggs? Do I need to wash and put new vermiculite in the tubs? How long can the eggs stay out of the incubator while I do this? I'm guessing there's something wrong. None of the eggs have collapsed and are all still white except the smelly brown slime. Please help! This is my first clutch btw. Thank you!
Here's some pictures.
