It's a good sign that they haven't gone bad in two and a half months. My eggs were usually whiter but hopefully your will hatch.
I think I had too much moisture when I first started caring for them and then now it were it should be

I agree the color is a little off, may be the lighting but all the fertile eggs Ive hatched have been white. You'll know if they go bad they mold quickly.

Easy way to know if you moisturize right. Get it the way you want it and then weigh it. Then every week or so way it again. That'll show you how much more you're losing and how much to put in. That's just what I find works for me other people I'm sure we'll have a lot of good advice for you take what works good for you. Hope this helps

@CGRIMES I've had some pretty lousy looking eggs hatch and produce healthy babies. I don't know if your eggs are stained from whatever the female laid them in or because they are poorly calcified. Regardless, until they go off keep incubating them.

Attached are pictures of a clutch I would never ever EVER have believed even one egg would hatch from. The vet said that there were too many eggs for her to be able to calcify them properly, regardless of her own calcium status. The clutch was two to three times the normal size and all eggs were all poorly calcified. Every egg had one end that was yellow which is evidence of a thin shell. Many eggs were so thin that as the embryo grew, the shell was too weak to hold up to the added pressure and split open killing the baby. Although it is not clear in the picture, that egg shell is so thin I could actually see the baby's face before it even pipped. You can also see that it is bleeding through the shell. And, yes, that baby hatched just fine.

Is there a good chance my eggs will hatch?
