If the egg was laid recently it is possible that it is not fertile. If was laid a week or more ago it is possible that it is dehydrated, if so then place a damp (not wet) paper towel over it for a while to see if it comes back. Make sure that you wait untill the egg has rotted and stinks real bad before you thro it away because you never know. I have an egg that has had mould on it from the begining and it has doubled in size and is ready to hatch any day now.

Good Luck,

Craig
