    100 egg questions :)

    Any suggestions on dented eggs? I read an article by Constricters Unlimited (remember, this all happened last night unexpectedly lol, I just had a herp magazine to go by til now) that suggested lightly misting the eggs and the dents will pop out, but 2 of the eggs still have quarter inch wide dents and I am worried of course.
    I have the eggs in a rubbermaid shoebox, in the vermiculite per my research. Are UTHs ok to use for them?
    I am pulling my hair out; time to go do more research.

    From what I understand, if you get them in the right humidity etc it will be fine. The are denting from lack of moisture.

    Am I right in stating that the eggs should not be turned?

    Yah, no turning and position the same way they were laid. I'm guessing that the reason why Adam marks an X in pencil on top of his eggs (see the pix in this thread) is that so he knows which way is up.
