I've been incubating this one egg for almost 64 days at 82ish degrees and now it starts to dent in and look infertile. Geeze, what a real let down this looks like...

Try misting them.. maybe it is not moist enough in there.. Mine did that, I sprayed them and the dents came out, you have to keep it pretty moist in there... Dont let that get you down... those little creatures are rather hearty..

At 63 days they could be hatching... but try adding moisture in case. Keep checking them 2 or 3 times a day too =). My first clutch of females hatched at 62 days.

They may still be good. When I incubate mine at 82-84F, they hatch around 52 days, but don't give up. If you need to add moisture to the medium, add it in the container, not directly to the eggs. I've also cut little squares of paper towel, moistened them and put on top of denting eggs to 'rehydrate' them.
