So I was doing a water change for my eggs and I noticed one has no jelly around it but it is reacting when touched the other two are the least developed and after moving one has turned slightly cloudy I will post a pic those three are separated for the moment from the other eggs I also lost one while moving them could someone help me and tell me what I should do as this is my first time dealing with eggs. The one that I lost also looked like the other two.

How are you moving them ?

I generally only do 1 water change while in the egg stage to avoid issues from handling.

turkey basters can cause huge damage.

I am moving them by hand I am doing a water change every 2 days at the moment but I am worried because I forgot to add the water conditioner to the water and they were left in there for a couple of hours before I realised their tails are slightly curled but they look like they are doing well the one that had no jelly actually hatched and is the only one so far out of the clutch that has hatched the other two that I was worried about were duds so I got rid of them. There are seven of them six are still eggs and the last pic is of the hatched one.

eggs only need a change once a week and sometimes not at all.
hands are safer.
most larvae have curled tails in the egg due to space issues

Thank you what about the one that has hatched is that a daily water change?

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
