So my egg is dented and I looked up why that could be and it said it could be a little dry in there so I sprayed in the area of the egg container and the next day it was still dented. So I sprayed inside its container but around the egg because I know that the water would just go right into the egg. I only let like two small drops get on it but then after two days it was still dented . I put a wet paper towel on the containers top but that didn't seem to do anything. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
By the way it's my females first lay so I'm not sure how well everything is going and she only layed one egg
Thanks,
Matt

Some eggs will dent a few days (2-7) prior to hatching; you might want to gently candle the egg to see if you can see movement inside the egg. At this point, it's a watch and wait to see....but it is getting close to hatching time, at those temps they could hatch anywhere between 58-72 days. With more seasoned females, their incubation times are much more consistant then first year females.
