Leo Eggs

Ok. so last year I had about a 50/50 secuss rate on them hatching. First year for breeding reptiles. First year for my Leopard Geckos too. THis year I did it by the book, cooled the Leopard Geckos, feed them a bunch then let them together. My first female laid 2 eggs on the 10th, en I found them they were dented so I put them in the in and they popped back up. Well they got moldy and deflated. So my new hypo tang female laid me 2 eggs last night. I put them in the incubator right after she laid them. Well this morning I went to check and they were still dented, Humidity is at 88% in the container. I dont know whats going on.... Im doing every thing right, or think I am. Any tips from others? why is it doing this? Ill take any advice

Well this is my first of breeding leo's and I've had pretty good luck so far, I have my first girl lay 3 clutches of 2 and only lost 1 mold.

A number of things could be going on I think, are the laying females getting their proper supplements, I even bought some liquid calcium for gravid females, I give .1cc everyother feeding, on top of the powder calcium.

Also sometimes females can just lay infertile eggs I think ya know? I read somewhere they can produce the eggs but they may never be fertile. There is so many factors on what could be going on.

Well I have two eggs in the incubator and I am about 90% sure the one didn't make it. I didn't know the eggs where in there and it got turned when I was just looking threw the bed a beast. The other one is still going firm in the incubator. I just have him on bed a beast as well but the humidity is almost 90% in the container and the heat is about 83 degrees or so. I feed calcuim to her everyother day on the super worms. She wont take them everyday but I am giving them to her everyother of when she will take them!
