Meller's eggs

[Smithy]

One of my female meller's laid 81eggs several days ago. About 15 eggs appeared white and heathy but are very empty inside, like they lack fluid, when they were laid. Are they just infertile or do they need to be put in a wetter medium for a while? I have never encounter this in other species of chams. Also has anyone had experience with the best incubation temps and hatching times? Many thanks.

Pictures would be a big help if you can attach one or more. I have melleri eggs incubating right now and Fluxlizard has also hatched out several.

Sorry - I hit the submit button before I was done......

Temps need to be on the cooler side like 65-75. Mine are at 68-72 and the timing is 3-5 months based on known reportings. I would say to incubate the eggs anyway and you will know down the road if they are infertile or not (i.e. mold/eggs will die). But yes, pictures would certainly help a bunch.

How do you know they are empty inside?
Without seeing a picture, the really white ones would likely be fertile and the others infertile....but I would incubate all of them until I could figure it out for sure. Are the whiter ones larger?
