RE: [gecko]Dented hard-shelled eggs

Title: Bericht

Dented eggs are very common with my Teratoscincus. They are a bit clumsy I think ;-) Most of the time the eggs will hatch just fine. If the dent is also a crack there is a big chance of moulding and that will end the egg. Nevertheless, we hatched out Dented and cracked (a little ofcourse) eggs with succes. But we never hatched out the spidergekko's ourself! This time we had perfect eggs and they are still in the incubater. But they are to late and dark wet-looking spots are appaering on the surface of the eggs. Not a good sign ...

I didn't increase the humidity. Actually, I didn't do anything. I just left them there in the incubator. I just wasn't sure if the denting was an indication of a greater problem. I don't see how the eggs could dent when they are just laid in sand.   Nonetheless, the eggs don't look as bad as I previously thought.   Thanks again, Mike
