After not eating for at least three weeks the younger of my two girls had her eggs. My older girl had eggs a few months ago but none of them hatched. Hopefully they will this time. She had 11 eggs. The last three that she had were caved in and very soft, but the other eight were smooth and firm. Is this normal?

If the eggs are healthy they will become more firm, else they will dry up. I had some problems incubating my waterdragon eggs in the past, but thanks to the advice recieved here, the last clutch I incubated all hatched. Here is my formula for a successful incubation:
Temperature: 83-86
Incubator: submersible heater in a cooler, Originaly I used a hovabator, but they don't provide the humidity that waterdragon eggs need.
Container: tupperware perked on one side creating a drip shield.
Substrate: Ten to three ratio of vermiculite to water by volume.
Make sure that the eggs are not turned and that they are buried 3/4 of the way or more. Good luck!
