eggs dimpling on day 27, is this ok?

[hoo-t]

thanks for the advice. the dimpling isnt too bad so im not too worried. i poured a little water in the vermiculite, mixed it in and covered the egg a bit with the moist substrate. should the egg eventually return to its original shape after rehydrating? how long should this take?

If you get that humidity up enough, the egg may fill back out. If not, it'll probably still be ok. The main thing is to prevent further collapse. I had a clutch that I couldn't seem to get the humidity high enough, and all the eggs in the clutch collapsed more than they should have. I cut the eggs a couple days ago, and the snakes were still alive and well. They should be coming out any time.

Have you candled the eggs? Are you sure that the one that is dimpling is fertile?
