tail eggs....
I've seen snake eggs do this, as well as bearded
dragon eggs. However, in the 4 years I have been breeding leos and the 1
year I breed fatties, I never witnessed either species eggs denting before
hatching. I have incubated at 82, 84, 85, and 88�F with humidity ranging
from 70-90%. Even though with that said I'd still keep the eggs
going. Longest I've let eggs go for is 11 weeks and that was only 1
egg. At that time I then cut the egg open and found the baby deformed
and only half the size as its living sibling. This egg was also a first
clutch for the female. Whether anything had to do with that is beyond me
as that female has yet to ever yield another baby like the said and she has
been bred to the same male every year.
Later,
Chris

Hi all.
I've had some fat tailed gecko eggs incubating
for 66 days now. They started to dent just slighty (which is something every
leopard gecko egg I hatched did before hatching.) The difference is, these
look somewhat sickly, and the shells have suddenly (in the span of a couple
hours) become transparent enough in some spots to make out colors.
Are these eggs pretty much done for, or is this
something fat tailed gecko eggs do occaisionally??
