    Re: Dented eggs?

    Yes, They have great veins and there is a nice large mass at the bottom of each one.. I guess i will let this take its course and see what happens.. But Yikes ya know.. This was her first clutch so I could have hoped for better.. At least she is fine and maybe a better shoot next year with this female.

    This is why I had asked can you put to much water in? In my mind if I have to much water this makes it harder to get warm enough to make the best humid conditions. Just a thought.. But as you can see in the upper right of the photo you can see the water even there.. Like I said I have water in it.. Just really dented..

    What ever you do stay consistant. With you being halfway through incubation I wouldnt make any drastic changes. Keep up with the moist paper towel if you want but if they are candeling fine let them go as they are. In the barkers book they talk about eggs drying to the point that they didnt think they would hatch. When they changed the medium drastically they lost all the eggs. When they would do slight changes the eggs normally hatched.

    Make sure that the bins are very tightly sealed. No matter how much water is in the bottom, if there's no tight seal, the air itself could be very dry.
