need info about egg coloration

[veiledfan]

I bought some fertilized eggs from someone who did not want them. They were laid about 3 1/2 months ago. Every website talks about them being white or yellow. Mine are pink and white. They do have veins. I checked to make sure that they are fertilized. Are they dead or is something wrong? I can not find any information to tell me what is going on. Please help. I am new at this.

If they have veins, yes they are fertilized. I would let them be...disturbing or rotating the eggs may kill the developing cham inside.

pink?

I will hope and see. I was just worried about them being pink. I just got them so I was not sure. I researched about them before and after I got them. I just want to make sure to take care of them the right way. Are they suppose to be completely white already or do the turn completely white before the hatch?

Being pink(inside) is normal. They are pink because of the blood vessels inside the egg. What is white is just the thin outside shell. The eggs sound completely normal to me and I would not disturb them any more. As time progresses you will see less of the pink color inside as the baby lizard absorbs the yolk. What you will see is a very dark area and then white. The dark area is the almost fully formed baby inside. The white area is empty space inside the egg. The only thing you need to do is make sure the incubation medium does not dry out and wait for them to hatch
