I've heard it is common for a female to lay one egg her first time. It is also common that the first egg is infertile. It is possible that the current male is the father. If he isn't he will eat it. Were do you live?

Oh.. thanks for yhe reply... =) so do I still need to put in the incubator?

The eggs should be where they are laid. The mother picks a good safe spot for them where the temps are good. Since the eggs are glued to something they can be broken removing them. Also it can kill the embryo if the orientation of the egg is changed. Your egg doesn't look good and may of been discarded by the mother. Your temps and humidity in Thailand I assume are good. Keep the egg between 80 and 90 degree F. 85-88 would be better. Lower temps will mean a longer incubation time. 100-120 days on average.

That egg is infertile and you may throw it away.
