My one egg is still dented and it looks like its getting bad. I Need help fixing the problem. Someone on here walked me through to reado the mix i. I just put them in there about 1 hrs ago. Because i think the other mix is way off. I will take a picture to show how bad it is???? :main_huh:

I know some people take a little bit of damp paper towel and lay it over the egg to try and fix it. I'd be afraid of too much moisture though. I'd let it go for a day and see if plumps up on its own in the proper mix. If not, then maybe give the damp paper towel trick a try.

If anyone has used the paper towel trick, could you let him know exactly how you did it.

the left one is dented? When I was looking I though it was the right one.

You could try placing a moist paper towel over the egg for a day and see if that helps.

Ryan, I have used this method before. I use a strong brand of PT and put it under hot water, squeeze out as much water as poss, fold a few times, and place over the egg. The temp of the PT by this time is just warm, and won't cook the egg. I'll leave it in place till the egg plumps back up, usually that day or the next.

Ok i will try the new mix. If its not better by thursday or friday. I will have to try the PT trick. Does anyone know how long i got to fix this problem befor the egg dies. This is my first time Incubating Leopard gecko eggs a local pet shop did mine last year. Thank Guys i hope i can save this egg i lost 4 already this season that were bad eggs. These 2 are the good one. ;(

I use the paper towel just because it is safer than having to move the eggs around. With the paper towel you have to use common sense and not make it soaking wet, you just want it damp. Using this method keeps you from having to move your eggs or making up another mix. Also Im not talking about packing the towel down onto the eggs just kinda laying it on the eggs. You can add a little more water to your mix in with in a day or two it will be back to plump. That is if the egg was good to begin with. If not then there was no "saving" it to begin with. Hope this helps.
P.S. Remember to: What works for one doesn't always work for all.
