Hi,
My girl Aphrodite had 7 eggs this morning. two of them are quite big, and white so i believe they are fertile, whereas the other five are small, slightly yellow and quite soft. Are these infertile?

My main worry is that the two 'healthy' looking ones are in a clump with 3 'unhealthy' ones. Wont the fertile ones become bad too?

Thanks :)

Hello BayBee,

Sounds like those are infertile eggs... Maybe seperate them, but perhaps hold onto them a little longer just to make sure. Sometimes even fertile good eggs can look awful, but usually yellow isn't a good time. Eggs should feel soft, leathery and fairly turgid (hehe- funny word)

Haha, very funny word!! ;)
They are soft, but defo smaller and yellowish, ill upload some photos of them, Tell me what you think.
Also.... What do I do with the clump of them? Do i manually separate the slugs? Will they make the fertile ones go bad? or should I just leave them?

Sorry for all the questions

I'm afraid they definitely look infertile... especially the three on the right. The two you were talking about are well worth looking after though- they shall be the miracle babies! Imagine if they were male and female.. A fairytale story!
