The egg "XG1" looks to be turning blue and the other pic with the 4 eggs, the one in the upper left corner looks to be turning a blue gray...? Has anyone seen or heard of this? I'm thinking it's gotta be the first "blue" sulcata ever to be hatched and I will be famous!!! No autographs at this time:p

I just hope it didn't die inside the egg. That is the worst:( I'll find out eventually...

That is a bad egg. I would dump it before it breaks in the incubator and makes a mess. Sometimes they explode. The one next to is isn't looking too hot either. Sorry.

Not an Easter turtle egg. :( Not even a blue bird of happiness egg. :( Instead, like was said, looks like a bad one. :( :( Sorry, no blue sulcata (but that would be neat to see)

I totally understand. I've learned to try to find the humor in these sad events. I have hingebacks and have gone for years without hatching any out until the two just before Thanksgiving. :( Years ago, they were my first eggs and with so much less knowledge and without the group of hingeback folks I now have to turn to, those first several clutches hatched and at 100%. Then came my dry years and dozens of eggs that for one reason or another failed to hatch. My hope for you is that maybe the other eggs may hatch or atleast your next clutch will do better. *hugs*
