My first ever clutch, my first slug. The eggs were looking fine, only three weeks left to go. One began to turn yellow and shrivel. I know that its a goner. Question is, its attached to three others. Should i remove it? All the others look healthy as can be, I candled one and saw veins and thick fluid and all. Will that one egg hurt.
 
No. Don't bother with it.
If it gets real moldy, put some anti-fungal foot powder on it.
If you are really concerned. You can cut the majority of it away, but don't break that seal or you risk rupturing the other eggs.
Good luck! Post pics of them babies!
 
Cornsnakekeeper is correct, don't try to remove it, any good eggs in the clump will be fine. By the way what you have is not a slug, it's just a egg that went bad. Slugs are yolk yellow hard misshapen things when they are laid.
 

Nooooooo! Please don't remove the mouldy egg from the good ones. Some slighly mouldy ones might still be a healthy growing snake. I use a light dusting of athletes foot power with a blusher brush.
The only bad eggs are the ones that are custardy yellow. Not growing as big as the others, and colapsing. But don't move them,

Good Luck, and let us know what hatches from your eggs, yeah?
