One of my two box turtles finally laid her eggs. She only laid two, which I gathered up, buried lightly in sphagnum moss, and put in an incubator. She laid them yesterday afternoon, and I just gathered them this morning.
But one of her eggs seems to be covered in mucus. It has a lot of this mucus on one end of it, and a thin layer over the rest of the egg. Any clue what this is? It's a white-ish color.
I really want to wipe it off and clean the egg off, to make sure it can "breathe" during incubation. But then I thought maybe whatever it is, could help the egg hold moisture. Any ideas?
