Egg

I will try this question again. I have an egg that has been in an incubator for four weeks, and it is starting to shrivel up a bit. Should I worry?

Spray the substrate with some water...don't soak it, but give it a little mist. I am guessing that the moisture level (humidity) is low. If there is plenty of moisture in the substrate you could have other problems, ie. infertile egg.

Thanks. The egg is presently in a heat bath type incubator, so I have openeed up the container that it is in so that it gets more humidity. I would guess I probably have an infertile egg. It was produced almost 6 weeks after mating; from what I read on here that is a long time.
