One egg....dont know what to do....

OK here is the story. I don't know when the egg was laid but it was some time ago. There were two eggs. The one if for sure not fertile because it is all brown and nasty. The other one for a while was growing and my boyfriend candled the egg and said there looked like there was something growing in there. That egg has a white grayish hue to it and looks like those i have seen online that are fertile. Just the other day it started to cave in. Is this normal. Its not just one spot that is caving in the entire egg is very flexible, a lot more than it was a few days ago. I don't want to pip it just yet.

What is the humidity inside the container you're incubating it in?

 

[Zynx_Keekeio]

what temperature are you keeping it at?

 

[fallen_angel]

How long has it been incubating?

 

[ValMarley08]

Im not sure about the humidity. We make sure to spritz it as needed and the fermiculite is moist. it is kept at 87 degrees. im not sure when it was layed. It was around the begining of september tho

 

[Zynx_Keekeio]

at 87 degrees it is very possible that it is hatching although since it's been several many hours I might say it might be infertile, like a helium balloon eventually it just deflates

i've never bred I'm just going off what I've read

Most of our eggs that were incubated at 88-89 degrees hatched in 37-39 days so it is possible that if it was laid in early September, it may be ready to hatch. Our first egg was aweful looking. It had dents almost from day 1 and we had a mold issue but it hatched a perfectly normal little gecko on day 39. I wouldn't stop incubating until it went flat or stunk to high heaven.
