If you candle the egg towards the end of it's incubation period will the eggs be pink inside or yellow.

Pink is good. Yellow is normally infertile but as we all say keep-em cooking and see what happens.

fertile egg with the baby inside. but near the end of it's incubation time the eggs is yellow inside.??

If it is more than 3/4 of the way through incubation you should not be able to see much of anything when candling because of the baby would now be taking up most of the inside of the egg and you would not be able to see through it, if that makes sense. If they egg was pink to start then went to yellow some time later sounds like the egg stopped developing and is dead. That has been what I have seen. I try never to crack eggs open till they have doubled the normal incubation time as some can developed at a different rate.

Then my giant day gecko egg had died. What a shame. I will post pictures later.

Preston described it pretty good. They almost turn opaque or maybe blackish(that doesn't feel right, but sounds right). 2 weeks away from my last set of eggs hatching I could barely see any pink, saw no yellow and saw baby gecko foot! Apparently sometimes you can see the babies move in the eggs too!!

Dude I'm so upset. He was doing so well. My egg was pure yellow inside no baby moving at all.

Dont be upset. Your gecko will lay plenty more. I had 6 go bad. I wish they hadn't but at the same rate I've already got 8 babies to deal with.

Thanks dude yourself and Terradas are chill laid back people to communicate with here on GU unlike some other people. But yeah She is going to lay soon and hopefully I can catch that one on camera too And damn 8 babies? you have your hands full man.lol

Yeah I'd rather be laid back and help people out to grow more into Phelsuma than be a jerk and have people decide this isn't for them.

Yeah I have 7 young/ baby P laticauda and 1 young P Pasteuri. On top of this fact I have 5 females that hopeful will start/ continue to lay eggs. I moved those 6 eggs when I found them(all at once) so I figure that's how they all went bad. I am going to try hatching the P laticauda with the adults to see how the parents are- will they eat the babies or not? I want to know what kind of results I'm going tO get. I know you can raise Gekko with their parents. I know too that some people don't advise this.

And besides, what's the point of being upset at something you cannot change? The least you can do is try to learn something from it!
