I am incubating for females, and after opening one container to remove one hatchling I noticed that one of the other eggs (30 days into it as of today) had no marker mark on it's surface facing up...!!!
the mark is almost on the side, slightly under the side..

i don't know how this happened, or for how long it's been like that..
since this only get opened for air occassionally, there's no reason I would have turned it on purpose...

my question is, this far into it, what do i do? my gut feeling is that it's been this way for over a week, so i should leave it, just want some more experienced people to tell me what they think...thanks...

i would personally leave it, if its been that way for a week, you either already drowned the embryo, or you risk drowning the embryo when you try to turn it back the right way. I am a novice to the hobby so take what i say as a grain of salt, but that is what I would personally do

I agree leave it. I have had eggs tipped over by either my own mistake with moving the box or even another gecko moving it while hatching. They hatched fine. You should be fine but only time will tell.

thanks,

yeah, i'm gonna leave it, i think the last time i took it out, was like 6 days ago, so 15 days....
if it titlted at 15 days my odds should be ok....
incubating for females has been average 60 days...

ps. thanks for the unput, i appreciate it.,
