Leopard gecko egg problem

[JTG Reptiles]

Today i checked the eggs in the incubator and the fertile one was dented but was still red. I havent wartered it for a couple days so today i sprayed alot more than usual to see if the egg was just dehdrated. Any suggestions? Btw there is a infertile egg attached to the fertile one but its not dentded. Its been about 26 days of incubation the eggs where found 6/26.

If the infertile egg is not molding then leave it be. As far as the fertile egg denting it sounds like it is dehydrated. What are you using to incubate them that requires being re-hydrated so frequently. You might want to switch containers and medium if you are needing to soak the substrate that often. Also do not directly water the egg.

The eggs caught me off guard when i was on summer vacation. So the lay box that the eggs where laid in is the contianer theres a hole in front and no lid and the lay substrate is organic top soil. So by the time i got home they where stucked to the container so i didnt mess with them and they are incubating. So i try to mist every other day or day to day.

Cover the container with plastic wrap to help maintain moisture.

What type of substrate are you using to incubate? I've been using perlite 1 part perlite to 0.8 part water method and it's been keeping my eggs in perfect condition.

The only time I had problem with eggs denting is when they were infertile which I knew right away, but still incubated for a few days after just to make sure. If you're not using perlite, I would suggest it just from experience.
