helping leo out of egg?

[your gecko guy]

I have had a not so good season this last year.I changed it to a dryer sub. 25 / 75 ratio and had a much better hatch ratio like 80% but I have a few eggs deflate and stay that way for a few days. It looks like the gecko has punched a hole in the egg but dosent seem to get out what should I do should I help or leave it alone ? THX

It could have broken through and then decided to go back inside and sleep/rest for a few moments. If it doesn't start coming out more within an hour or so, I would be a little concerned. But otherwise, just let it be, they push a little, then rest a lot, so it should be coming out soon. Good luck

Did the baby make it okay?

not yet its been over 12 hours ?

hey sometimes the eggs look deflated, but are actually the babies changing position and making the egg look that way. I've checked on eggs that looked deflated and 5 minuets later they are back to a firm way. So its just the way the geckos could be in the egg, but if its hatching then I hope it comes out soon. I think I talked to you about manual pipping over the phone? Well anyways I hope the best

12 hours is a bit too long

What you might be able to do is that towards the end of the term you might want to increase the humity slowly to help with them coming out. Just a suggestion see how it works.
