another egg denting question, slightly different

[Anakan2]

I have an egg that is about 30 days out and being incubated at 80 degrees. It looks fantastic and when candled, you can see the embryo. For some reason, I decided to have a look at the bottom. It is starting to dent on the bottom. I have seen much worse but it is definitely dented.

#1. Is the location of the denting relevant to anything in particular besides humidity or other? (bottom denting vs. top vs. side, etc. Wondering if bottom denting means too high humidity or too low or maybe bottom denting means that the embryo is having some particular issue whereas top denting might mean a completely different pathological or physiological problem. ) I hope that question makes sense...

#2. Should I bury this egg completely like many have suggested for dents?

The top of the egg is as plump as can be and it is a very large otherwise healthy looking egg....

My husband has been incubating eggs for about 6 years now, snakes and this year geckos.
Every time that someone lays a clutch the first thing that he does is to make sure that he has vermiculite that has been soaked to absorb enough water to stick together and stick to your hand. He never buries the eggs though.
I do not know that this helps you it is just my observations!
Good luck!

I just buried my eggs for 3 days and one of them puffed up so I'm guessing it's fertile. The trick is great and I learned it from Bari (PetVet) on this forum.
