Worms on Eggs?
I just looked in my incubator and I saw the there was tiny clear worms on my fertile egg! they were crawling around on there! I had to remove them the best I could and I think they are all gone now. I'm using Perlite as an incubation medium. How would these things get in? The eggs are inside a sealed tupperware container which is inside the incubator. Is there any hope for my egg?

It sounds like they came from a fungus that is growing in your incubator, but this has never happened to me so dont quote me. what is ur incubating and what is the temp? if its too hot thats how funngus starts.

There is no fungus in the incubator. The incubator itself is brand new! It's a steamy 84º inside the incubator. I really dunno how these could have gotten in there.
I asked someone else and he said that my leo might have worms and that transferred to the eggs. Can this happen?

I dont think that the eggs would have worms on them, but the babies would for sure if one of your did. And when you said "Steamy 84F" does that mean that there is a high humidity level, because thats how they would live...off of the humid air.

naw, not that humid.. I think I just killed all the worms tho. But I also might have killed the egg aswell. It was a chance I had to take. Either I kill the worms and possibly egg aswell, or the worms kill the egg and I have tons of new baby worms on my hands.
I dipped it in a 1 : 5 bleech : water solution very fast, then into normal water then dried it.. All within like 4 seconds. But I'm sure I got rid of the worms. The egg I'm not to sure about, but it was a chance I had to take..
I hope I have better luck with her next clutch.

I suggested you change the Perlite you have in there with new fresh stuff, just incase there are eggs or something....I also suggest you ask a reptile store like Reptilia or PCPC about your eggs. Good luck with her next clutch,

I did change the perlite after I did the bleech thing.. That'd be awesome if it still made it though, althought that's quite doubtful!

there was a bit of mold growing on that one with the worms on it. I took off all the mold. I dunno if this means it's dead or not.
