Cleaning the Panther eggs!

[Jackboydaddy]

Hello everybody,
Just a quick question about my panther eggs that is that the eggs are now removed from the sand but how do I get the sand thats stuck to the eggs ive tried a small paint brush to remove the sand but it seems stuck on the eggs but not all over, should i clean it off or leave it any suggestions please would be grateful.

Cheers Guy.

I've never removed it.

its safe to leave the dirt/sand/soil on them...

It won't hurt the egg to leave the sand, dirt on the egg. You could potential damage the egg, if you try to take it off.

Yeah, make sure you don't try to clean them, it can harm the egg.

Here in Europe most of the guys clean there eggs.
I do it to and I use here for a chinees brush.
These brushes are very soft and if you are very carefull, you dont damage the eggs.
I have don this with all my clutches and with all kind of species(Pardalis, calyptratus, bervicaudatus, nchisiensis, spectrum, temporalis, superciliaris, ...) and always with succes.
So far the european way.

I've never removed it.

Me neither - there seems no reason to do so, as all my eggs have hatched without cleaning interference

Thanks people,
That info is a great help I see that people have different views on this, I think I will leave them as they were found.

Cheers Guys.
