I separated out the panther eggs that were collapsing into their own container and added more water to the vermiculite.
Now there is a slight condensation in the container and 4 of the 6 collapsed eggs seem to have filled out again. Hopefully they are ok.
I added a tiny bit more water to the other containers and now those have a bit of condensation in them also.
I think the mix was too dry. Thanks a bunch! I think you have helped me avoid a catastrophe. LOL Well, it would have been a disaster to me!

Great news, Sonia!
Here's hoping they all make it fine.
We have known others that had this happen - and we had it happen a few years back - so I was hoping that it would work for you.
There is so many opinions on medium moistness... but all agree that the worst seems to be too much moisture. We have found that if there is a tiny bit of condensation only... it seems to be a better mix.
Anyhow... by separating them, now you will know which were the ones that dented. Just in case those few don't hatch - you will know why. If you had left them in the other container and they filled back out - but didn't hatch - you would have been guessing as to the possible reasons.
We sure hope that they do hatch - got our fingers crossed for ya!
