Hi all! I got 5 eggs laid last night (with a few more to come it seems), 3 of them were slugs unfortunately, but the other two are white and look more healthy, however they are slightly squishy, as if the calcium hasn't hardened properly. They're nearly an inch long, and about a cm across, which to me seems slightly small. I've put them in an incubator anyway, as they are better in colour, but I wanted to ask if you guys think they have a chance of surviving? Thanks!

I think its just the pic, its moist but not "wet" or dripping or anything.. Probs just the flash! Thanks for the help

from that pic it looks like a viable egg though if that's moss the substrate looks a little too wet? difficult to tell though from a pic lol

Here's a pic of one of the eggs, my hand is a little closer to the camera than the egg, but does this help with perspective? Is this roughly the right size? Thanks!

I dont know why, I always thought they'd be hard.. I was careful not to squash them or rotate them at all, so they should be in the 'bator nicely. Size-wise, do they sound ok? I'll upload a pic soon!

they ARE soft, not like a chickens eggs!
try not to move them around too much or rotate them!
