Hi, this is my first clutch produced by me and this is the scenario. Albino x albino laid 6 eggs.
1 slug
2 infertile good looking eggs
1 almost fully developed but started losing veins around day 50 (shark mouth once cut the egg)
2 when cutting the eggs on day 55 we’re alive but deformed and shark mouth. Also died.
My incubator shows temps from 83-95 F even though these were just for a little while in the day . But most of the day remained set at 88,89 degrees.
There’s a local breeder here in South Florida that keeps them in a garage and has been doing this his whole life. Over 40 years. And he says his garage goes through the same temps I mentioned above and he has no issues.
So my question is , can this be a genetic thing?
I have a clutch of 9 eggs due next week so I guess I can compare them. Also this is this female first clutch. She was about 1600 when laid eggs.
Also I did mess with the eggs a few times. I liked candling them during the process to see how they developed but I didn’t turn the eggs , just gently picked up candled with my cellphone light and put back .
