From the looks of the one egg dying in the corner of the picture I should be able to have another nice embryo picture at further development from that of the last eggs which died. Each egg that has died is on my Lemon event picture page along with brief observational opinions. The link is below. The reasons for egg death so far, in my opinion, might include urine soaked egg shells, ink from the newspaper which the egg sat on after oviposition, excessive candling and handling, a deformed embryo, and the most recent egg death may have been form a period of about 3 hours when power was off to rendered a gradual 4 degree drop in temperature. The 4 degrees was regained over about a 15 minute period.
All comments are welcome.
Today is the beginning of day 14, and the eggs are being maintained at 87.8F with a proportional thermostat. I discontinued the use of the on off type thermostat on day 4. The picture below shows the eggs which are still being incubated, but one of those does appear to have died. I've removed the cover from the eggs for a the picture, but normally there is a plastic lid with slight ventilation which has mild condensation on the sides. A tricky bunch to make happy.
