Egg Question

This is my first year breeding crested geckos, and I'm a little worried about one egg in particular... So any advice is welcomed and appreciated.

I just noticed that one of my crested gecko eggs is half deflated. It's in a deli cup with the other egg in the clutch. The other egg looks perfectly normal, but the one is half deflated. I didn't check on them yesterday, but I know the day before it wasn't like that. Is it gone or what?

I've had the egg half burried in the vermiculite, and I've been keeping the medium moist.

I can see the little gecko inside the egg on the half that's not deflated. I'm just not sure how the eggs go. I'm worried if I need to do something. I just sprayed the cup, but I don't know what else to do.

Both eggs were laid on 3/9 and are being incubated at 78-80F

I personally wouldn't do anything other than what you've already done and just let nature determine the outcome. I know it's hard, but it would be my very last resort. ~Fingers Crossed~
