Not good if there is floride. How long ago was this? If less than a day, I would get some spring water and add a bit of calcium chloride or calcium carbonate and a bit of baking soda. Mix that up and then wash the eggs in that. If longer than 24 hours - hope for the best.
Done, hopefully didn't mess them up. A couple of them already looks to be chalking. Is that even possible this fast?IMG_20200626_182501657.jpg

I've been raising a 1.3 group of HET albino sliders from Hatchlings since 2016. Unfortunately the original male disappeared out of my pond last year. Recently though I was able to pickup another mature HET male. He's been spending time with the ladies for about two months and finally this morning one of my females nested and layed 8 eggs. View attachment 298417View attachment 298418View attachment 298420View attachment 298421Fingers crossed they're fertile. This is only my second attempt at incubating eggs so any tips would be appreciated. Right now I've got them in vermiculite and the incubator set to 88F.
congratulations and good luck on the hatching. HutsieB

Supposed to be the Clive line. I got them at a show so who knows. Guess I'll know when these hatch if I got what I payed for. 7/8 eggs look fertile.
