What should I do? 1 egg going bad quick

All of a sudden one of my eggs dimpled no movement inside when candled on day 27. What should I do to save it if possible? https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7445/...44e080d3_h.jpg

How was this clutch set up / vermiculite at what ratio to water?

Also can you explain what the clutch is sitting on?

I look forward to hearing from you.

I watched your video from a few years back Brian! 1:1 ratio vermiculite to water they're sitting on vermiculite

Triple check your temps and humidity. I would put some "press and seal" on that tub right away. Make sure the tub lid is securely on.

agreed with albert, eggs look dehydrated. check the humidity and get a cover for the container. may need to add some more water to the medium too. when you candle do you see veins? it could just be a bad clutch. it happens. best of luck and hope this helps

I don't do the 1:1 ratio, didn't work for me.
I just go by the feel of the mixture.
It should clump then I add a little more water.

opened the incubator this morning. The egg is dead a smelling bad. Thanks for all yall's help

if it smells bad definitely toss it. it will mold up and the mold could spread to the other ones. if you're interested, cut the bad egg open, sometimes its interesting to see. I've had two go bad, one was just infertile and full of goop and the other was partially developed but not a fully formed snake. my daughter really found it cool to see haha:gj:

I would leave them alone, they'll probably hatch out just fine.

Good luck
