I have been ready for my female to lay her first ever eggs all week. I have been checking every morning, after work, and night. I did not check this morning...so guess when she layed her eggs. Of course. Anyway, I just checked and the eggs are solid with some massive denting all over. She did not lay in the lay box but in her warm hide right over the heat strip. Not sure how long they have been there. My question is are they even worth trying to save? I have them incubating totally buried in vermiculite as we speak.
huge egg dents...what to do?

First ever eggs are normally duds, but better to bake them and see

More than likely, if the eggs were laid over the heat they will fail. I would go ahead and try to incubate them anyway. When I have eggs that dent during incubation, I tear a piece of paper towel, mist it wet, and gently lay it over the eggs. In most cases, they will plump back up if the eggs are fertile and the embryo(s) are still alive.
