I usually start noticing more dimpling about 3 weeks before the eggs are due to hatch. Usually just minor dimpling then but dimpling, nonetheless.
If your eggs are drying out, you might try draping some dampened sphagnum moss over the eggs to help insulate them a little more against moisture loss. I like to put big clumps of moist sphagnum moss to gravid females close to their due date because it helps hold humidity around their nest site. I've also got a clutch of jungle carpet eggs right now that are being incubated in nothing but sphagnum moss. I love the stuff.
