Dented Egg

[MandyGurl]

My gecko laid an egg June 25.(37 days ago) I have had it in hatchrite in the hovabator at 85* since it was laid. The egg was fine until about 7 days ago, it began to form a dent. I have read that means the egg is getting ready to hatch. However, how long after the dent forms does the egg hatch? Im starting to get worried something is wrong with the egg. I candled it awhile ago and I could see the veins in it. TIA!

What is your humidity level at?

It could be due to lack of humidity and its probably bad. They don't dent That early.

All of my eggs that dent have hatched within 24 hours. So Im thinking it's not good for your egg.

put it on a wet paper towel

it hatched! I had given up but it hatched after 2 weeks of being dented!

It can pay off to incubate till there's no debate

I'm glad it hatched for you! Congrats!
Maybe next time, up the humidity a bit...70-80% is more favorable.
