It was my girl's first year breeding, and I got one viable egg. It was laid June 1st and (I think) is about to hatch. Problem: it's been freezing cold the past week and the tempuratuers in the incubator have dropped. I have read that the egg will dimple when it is ready to hatch, and my egg has reduced at least 50% in size in the past 4 days. I can see the nose, tail, and limbs of the gecko inside, if I had to compare it to something I would say it looks like someone threw a sheet over it and you can see the outline. It was sweating and had little beads on it for about 2 of the past 4 days, and now I'm just waiting and hoping it hasn't died. It was kept on peat moss and kept humid, I can't give exact tempuratures but they were higher than room tempurature and didn't get too hot.
Now, considering it took 3.5 months to develop to this stage, I would assume that it will take its sweet ass time coming out of the egg.
Should I put a slit in the egg where the head is? This doesn't sound smart to me, but it could help?? This is my first viable egg of any kind and I really want it to hatch, any suggestions at all are hepful. Could the egg be too hard for it to crack open?
