Well here is the clutch, not very excited about it. Can't complain as like i said I did not brumate her and it is her first year.. I am use to a lot better looking eggs, I know there is a definate slug or two,...but unsure about the looks of the others.. Figure I will wait a week and candle them. But figured I would throw it out on the forum...Any thoughts anyone??

I think at least two look deffinitely good, the rest are questionable. Since you aren't sure go ahead and incubate until they are obviously gone. That is what I would do.
 
I have no real clutch experience yet but I am with Carnivorouszoo. Two look real nice. 4 look like they could be slugs and the others are kinda questionable. Good luck!
 
Good or bad... incubate! I have seen alot of crappy eggs punch out some really nice babies, Even when you candle them and it appears as if there are no vessels inside. When I was working for Kevin @ N.E.R.D. we saw a few eggs that just did not make the cut and still a baby hatched, the funny part was the baby was one of those really difficult odds to hit. This of course was Ball Pythons but even still...
 
Ok pyth, I am listening to you and incubating any eggs ever no matter how they look. Sounds like ugly duckling syndrome in eggs lol!
 
I would incubate the top ten, the bottom loner is obviously a slug. :cheers:

In my experience, healthy eggs will stay that way and look good no matter how gross their incubation material gets. The ones that actually get fuzzy 15-20-30 days in . . . prolly not gonna make it, but keep them in there till the healthy ones hatch, or separate them to a separate container.

Good luck!
