Hiya, my corn laid today finally and i have put the eggs im my incubator but i took a quick picture before hand. How do they look? I havent turned them at all when moving them but there are a couple stood up on one end, will they be ok?? There was one she'd rolled over (the yellow looking one) will that be ok? Sorry for all the questions but this is my first time breeding. Oh and my corn is now happily munching on a nice juicey rat lol
Thanks in advance
Sorry about the small pic, its from my iphone

the pic isn't great and my computer monitor is worse lol but from what i can tell from here, the middle bunch look great, the right hand side bunch look fine and the one on the left looks like a slug to me BUT just cos i can't see it clearly doesn't mean bin it just yet!! 
just make sure your vermiculite is deep enough for the pile of eggs and i'd cover them with a layer of sphagnum moss too  |

| Dont handle the eggs incase you drown the embryo. i sprayed mine with look warm water every 2 days though be carefull not to over wet. the one on the left does look like a slug if any do go yellow and soft you will no they are not viable as they will smell and deflate. some people remove the dead ones others dont if any are dead and you want to remove them but they are stuck to the good eggs you need to be very carefull i read somewhere that using dental floss helps good luck n keep us posted. |

| I got some moss today so i have put some on the eggs but i noticed 1 had a couple of dimples in it. Does that mean the humidity isnt high enough? I have sprayed the vermiculie again but will keep an eye on them. My incubator has a window so i dont need to open it :-) |

| if they dimple in at this stage it's usually due to too low humidity, towards the end of incubation they might dimple just before they hatch |

| Get a small spray bottle and fill with water and stick that in the incubator as well, it'll also warm up and help to keep the levels warm plus you'll have warm water to give a mist around the eggs to raise the humidity if need be. |
