Default Willaimsi Eggs

I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem I just discovered with Williamsi Eggs. I had a clutch of two eggs in my incubator and notice this morning that there was dust around the eggs. Upon closer inspection of the eggs both eggs were completely dust on the inside. I took the eggs out and put them on a peice of plain white paper then noticed that there were little white bugs crawling around. Does anyone have any ideas on what these are and should I be worried or not?

Thanks,
Matt

Sometimes I can see small greyish or whitish 'isopod' like creatures which are 1mm or smaller and move around the tank. These creatures never bother my eggs they move on them and move away from it. They just clean and feed on poo and organic remnants. I don't know this is the case now but maybe. Can you take a photo of your egg? Eggshell protects from the enviromental effects your gecko and if the surrondings not so harmonic they shoudl survive and develope. If you have a photo then maybe Williamsi keepers from gu who had such egg could tell if its healthy or not.

Hi Matt,

I did some digging around and asked a few people I know about what could cause this and the most probable cause is Termites. :/
