Egg Question!

MY female bearded dragon was with my male, for them too mate. I was putting them togther on and off to increase breeding behavior. Then one day my female wasnt wating right, and she was always thirsty. From what I had read, this was signs that the female had laid eggs. I had once seen her digging around furiously, but I figureed that she was just trying to bury herself for brumation. Then, one say I turned the lights on in the breeding cage, and suddenly saw an egg. I was very suprised, and continued to search for more. In the end I had found 15. Then I looked in the females cage, and I found one more egg. 16 eggs!! Well anyways, she laid her eggs in the breeding cage in just plain sand, and the eggs were pretty dry. Not thinking right, I just picked up the eggs and put them in my hand, with them rolling around. Then I thought I should just put them in my incubator, cause there might be a miracle. 12 of the egss turned brown and deflated. And for seemed "okay." Anyways to my point, Do you think that the eggs would still have a chance of survival, and is 85 degrees a reasonable temp. for these eggs. And finally one more question! When will the eggs begin to sprout with vessels? MY FEMALE IS BREEDING FOR THE FIRST TIME! Heres some pics of the eggs!I took the pic with my little cheesy camera, so bear with me now lol. The eggs are a little brown except for one, and as i mentioned above, I had them in my haand so they rolled around. is there ANY CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL?? just look at the eggs on the bottom of the screenonce you click the link! egg |

| I suppose anything is possible! I never understood exactly why it’s bad for us to turn the eggs, but the female can ram them with her nose roll them around and bury them! I can see veining on my eggs within a couple of days usually. 85 is a good temperature. |

| They deflating could be because they are too dried out, try upping the humidity, if that doesn’t work then I’d say they’re probably gone. |
