The black ring is most likely a blood ring. Sorry, not a good sign. From what I understand, blood rings form when there is bacteria that has entered the egg and stops development. I received some LF shipped eggs once that all grew and developed blood rings. Nothing hatched. I am sure you are VERY frustrated. How are you storing the eggs as you collect them to hatch? Wish I could help.

on the side cool dry place i check for eggs 3 times a day so that they arent exposed to crazy heat for an extended amount of time.....ive tried SO many things

but bloodrings usually show up before going to lock down... maybe he didn't candle them right earlier or something..? but he said a couple of days a go that they were alive and everything...

well, too bad we can't get any updates because some one got him banned... wack...
