Signs they're about to hatch?

[Sleep Eurydice]

Hi, I'm a first time leo breeder and my first clutch is on day 53 so I'm getting really impatient and excited. I'm incubating at about 29c which I think is about 84f so I think they should hatch any day now from what I've read. I was just wondering if there is anything to look out for that would indicate they're going to hatch soon? I've noticed that the eggs are starting to go pointy at the ends, kinda like a rugby ball. Is that significant in anyway? Thanks

Sweating, softening, crumpling a bit, and in some cases (most for me) . . . nothing!

My eggs always become softer a few days before hatching.

Eggs tend to soften a bit as they get closer to hatching, they may sweat for a short time but it's often do brief you probably don't notice it, and denting also commonly occurs. Although as was mentioned, no visible changes may be noticed, it's all a waiting game really, when they hatch they hatch.

Denting for sure! but I also notice shrinkage too, but never noticed sweating.

The thing with gecko eggs is that most of the time you do not see the gecko hatching out. I check on the eggs constantly and ill go upstairs for 30 minutes to make lunch. When i come back down there is a hatchling fully out of the egg. Out of my 26 babies so far, Ive only caught 2 or 3 poking their noses out and 1 with half its body out.

Majority of the time it is exactly what Aliza stated, nothing. No sweating, no denting and etc. The eggs looks the same for me the week of, the day of, and right before hatchling.
