## Abstract Typical reptilian eggs require a moist substrate for normal development and undergo a water loss across the shell in dry air many times that of avian eggs. Certain geckos lay hard‐shelled, calcareous eggs, often in arboreal locations, that have been postulated to be truly cleidoic. It h

## Abstract In contrast to previously published observations of constant daily water loss during incubation in some large, precocial eggs, daily rates of water loss increase approximately 42% between days 1–4 in redwinged blackbird eggs and conductance to water vapor increases 47 and 48% during the
