Uh-oh.. Egg Question (Rhac)

[Syn]

Took out egg, accidentally flipped it 60-90 degrees

Any possibility it will be ok?
How do you check for yolk detachment?

I think I may have just killed a baby gecko.

edit: eggs were found this morning... will not be handling eggs after waking up anymore.

Was it freshly laid?

Mhm. I am so mad at myself.

If they had been laid last night you are probablly fine (no guarantee). I have moved eggs a couple days after laying and they still hatched. Hope this helps

It's relieving to hear that, thank you.

The eggs don't set until after 24 hrs so if you did it before then they should be fine

I think you have at least a 24 hr time frame to move the eggs. Your ok don't sweat it at all.

Odds are it might not have hatched anyway.

First and second year females for me usually have a 50% or less hatch rate.

After that it is 100%

There is a chance that you might have put it exactly how it was, I did the
exact same thing once and the egg hatched, I was lucky that I got it back
in the same position it was before I flipped it.

Great points, Brock..

You bred Rhacs? (Must have forgot or you never told me)

I am pretty sure I put it back the way it was.. if not, argh, I have a baby gecko death on my conscious.
