Is late egg denting a sign they may hatching soon?

[tangerineman]

I've been doing everything by the book, my eggs have been incubating at 89-90, it's been about 26 days, and now i see one has white fuzz underneath, and another is dented on the bottom...

originally they bothed toughened up nice and firm, and were opaque,
they were submerged partially in vermiculite mixed 60/40...

wondering if it's too late to change them and put them in a freshly mixed container of substrate with the proper ratio in case it has lost moisture?

I have read that the eggs could hatch in as little as 33 days at this temperature...

I am going to try the Desonex trick on the moldy one, but it's kind of thick in one patch..

thanks for the help, this is my first clutch...

Some of the things you're trying may work, but be aware, especially if this is the gecko's first clutch as well, that sometimes eggs can look good for a long time and then turn out to be infertile. One of my geckos has laid infertile eggs for the past 2 seasons that looked great for about 8 weeks (I incubate at 82) and then collapsed. When I dissected one there was nothing inside. I hope things turn out well.

candle the eggs and look for a pink/red glow with veines. If they glow yellow they are probably infertile.

Eggs denting, and ....

Okay, a few things have changed since I posted this originally,
first i switched to perlite...

so, the first two eggs which were severely dented i believe to be infertile,
upon candling, which i did for the first time to all my eggs just a few days ago, showed them to be really golden yellow and no reddish anything.

I've separated them and kept at them , though just in case..
I've added a little bit of moisture to the eggs hoping to re-hydrate them,

the moldy egg is no longer moldy, but slightly dented,
the other eggs seem fertile, and healthy with a firm shell.
They seemed to have something stuck to a side of the egg, inside..
and (veiny?) reddish in appearance,
I have my fingers crossed...
and thank you for your input-

i incubate everything even if i candle them and see nothing but a yellow glow. you would be surprised at what hatches and doesnt. i am not saying all do but some of them surprise you

im new to candleing, I have 6 eggs in the incubator right now, i dont see veins, but they all have a pink appearance, since their pink does that mean their good, or do they have to have the veins too? I know to keep them and try to hatch them out either way, but i wanna know what to look forward to

Pink usually means they are fertile.

i wonder why i cant see the veins, ive seen pics online and the veins look rather ovious.
