i dont think there is much you can do. the setup seems fine as it is.

i heared that some people try to re-fill the egg with medical isotonic saline solution (the stuff that can be added into the human blood stream). they put it in with a syringe and seal the hole with some kind of super glue. but you really need to find someone who has actually done it, im not sure about the details. it might do more harm than good.

sometimes the solution is to keep the conditions as ideal as they are, and to do nothing.

I definitely am not comfortable trying to inject any saline or anything like that, I feel like I would cause more harm than good for sure.

I've added a second layer of diffuser to keep the eggs farther from the substrate. I have noticed a couple other wet spots on a couple other eggs. I am going to pick up some athletes foot powder to put on them to inhibit mold and help dry the spots. The collapsed egg did have a teeny amount of white fuzz on it this afternoon, smaller than the eraser on a pencil. All are still "soft", as in the eggs are malleable and shells will push in. I replaced the plastic wrap with press and seal and the only area that may not have a fantastic seal is where the probes are entering the box.

Any other recommendations for "drying out" a wet spot on an egg? The wet spot on the collapsed egg hasn't grown, but I don't really want to give it a chance!
