Dents in the eggs

My leo recently layed her eggs in the middl e of the night and when I uncovered them they had dents in them, have they perished or can they survive?

I wouldn't give up. Put them in the incubator, and find out. When my leo laid her first two eggs I thought the one was done for it and it was and we weren't sure about the other one. well the other one just hatched.

They can survive. The moisture in the incubator should help "inflate" the eggs back to their original appearance. If you got them in time, they could hatch with complete success.

She laid them somewhere between 12:00 AM and 10:00 AM, so I hope all goes well.

Dont give up. I cant tell you how many times I've given up on a "bad" egg only to find that it was starting developing inside.

Re: Dents in the eggs
