Default Help!

my leo layed a egg yesterday wich i put streght into the incubator and is fine. but i just had a dig around in the nesting box and theres another egg but i moved from the position it was layed in (i didnt know it was in there) i put it in the incubator, but it seems to be squishy were as the other feels ferm and leathery....im worried about the egg, does it have a chance or should i just bin it??
thanks for any advice given,
saffy

If you candle the egg you should be able to see red. Although if it's squishy it probably is infertile......

i have put it in the incubator in its own tub, but it smells and is a pale yellow colour and its also softer and squishier than the other 3, but i think ill keep it in there and see what happens.
thanks for your comments,
Saff
