Found 7 more this morning!!! We're up to 21, short of the 29 she laid last year. She may have a few left in there, it's hard to tell. I turned her lights on to warm her up.

This morning I found her laying outside the nest with a soft egg next to her. I took her out and searched the nest. Didn't find any more.

I just talked to my wife and she laid another one. This is very strange. We'll give her another day or 2 to finish laying, them we're going to have to get an x-ray taken to see if she has any more in her.

We're up to 23. We'll find out in a few days how many are fertile.

I'm sure we could check now!! But I'm reading 4 different forums. I'm in to rush. Checking won't change anything.

We're down to 21. One of the one's I figured was NG was turning brown.

Here's a pic of the eggs. Most of the eggs in the left tub were put in there by our 12 year old son after being told numerous times not to bother the nest. He didn't wash them either. In the right column of the left tub, the middle egg has a slight leak. I'm going to try putting some New Skin on it to seal it. Any other ideas???

I'm sure if I was 12 and there was some big lizard laying eggs in the other room i couldnt resist either! :-D

This is really awesome though! Be sure to keep updating! Are you using the same home made incubator setup that you used last year?

Lost another one (the one that was leaking), down to 19. 2 others have green mold on one end. Cleaned them off with hydrogen peroxide and put them in their own bin.
