Honestly I have never seen a leo egg "DENT" like I have beardies, and snakes that I have hatched! The thing I always notice in leo's are the egg starts to sweat. What temps are you incubating at? Day 49 seems a little quick unless you are incubating for males? Good luck!

I have had other leo eggs dent a day or two before hatching. They dont completely cave in or anything, just a portion starts to. The egg I have right now is caving in right on the top. I incubated the first three weeks at 82-83 degrees for female. After the sex should have been determined, I increased the temperature to 88 degrees. The egg is still really white, its just starting to cave in.

In my experience denting is not good. Sweating is good though. My eggs sometimes dent around 45-55 days. Not long after that a couple days mold sets in. I hope this isnt the case for you. Good luck
