Moldy Kinyongia Tavetana eggs

[Cainschams]

So I went to check on the eggs and they have mold on them but they still looked ok. I was wondering if anything was going on since they were laid the first of May so I decided to candle one. I lightly brushed the mold off the one egg (I hope this wasnt a bad idea) before I candled it and it came off rather easily. Once I candled it I nocticed all of the blood islets. It was completely pink and I could see what seemed to be an embryo taking up oh around 1/4 of the egg. I have been crossing my fingers since the begining that these eggs hatch. I havent found really much info on them and the incubation besides in the Chameleon Handbook.

Here is the question. I have heard of people putting a foot powder on the eggs when they get moldy. Any certain kind? How much? And can these eggs pull through? The mold is a white color and not covering very much of the egg just the part that is out of the vermiculite. Also it isnt
covering the whole exposed part just kinda dots on them. Sorry I dont have pics and dont have a camera right now.

SO.. ok.

being the mold technician that i am.

i am certified in 8 states for mold removal.

mold will grow anywere on organic materials with thee appropriate humidty and stagnant air.


if your home or something else that sat with water developed mildew then it more then like had mold spores, OR typically everytime you purchase a plant or bring something from outside inside it will contain mold spores, if you allow it in the house with a nice air flow, it will find a way to the most moist spot and settle and grow.

*if that makes sense, i kinda rambled*.

Yeah I think it was where I put the eggs. I wanted to put them in the coolest spot of the house which is where the well line comes up so it stays cooler in there.

Anyone got an opinion on the foot powder.

 

[Cainschams]

Anyone?

i do not have the answere but would realy like to know as well. Would the powder dry the egg out to much. or smother it if such a thing is posable.
