FBN question

[MaDsci]

Can the females store sperm? Also, will they lay eggs if they arn't "fertilized".

 

[Azhael]

Yes, and yes.
They can store sperm for quite some time....and they can lay infertile eggs(it´s not that common but it happens).

 

[MaDsci]

So, how would I know if the eggs are fertilized?

 

[Azhael]

Very easy indeed..they just won´t develop xDDD

 

[MaDsci]

Oh lol, well, I was kinda hoping that she would lay some fertilized egg since her mate past away a week ago. Kinda to keep it's legacy going.

 

[Azhael]

If the male was in breeding mode and so was the female, then the possibility is obviously there.
But if the male passed away, i´d say there´s little chance, depending on the cause of death, that he was.

 

[MaDsci]

One of the eggs that was laid was half black on one side and half white on the other, does that mean it's fertilzed?

 

[Jennewt]

No, that's just the normal color of a newly-laid egg. Be patient, you'll know in a week or so.
