So my one egg that is alive from my dragons clutch is at 75 days and has started to sweat and dent which I know is normal when they are about to hatch. What I want to know is it normal for them to discolor before hatching and I haven’t seen him moving in awhile can that be normal also?

How is the egg doing ? Sorry no one saw this until now. If the egg still seems viable can you post a pic ? They can discolor a little bit sometimes but I'd have to see a pic.

But I haven’t seen movement in there for a while I’m not sure if he is still alive

It may still be alive but it''s also possible that it's dead but with beardie eggs, " when in doubt don't throw it out. " The exceptions are if they're totally deflated like a water balloon with almost no water in it or if they obviously are stinking from decomposition. You can add a little bit of water carefully around it with an eyedropper or syringe, enough to make the substrate around it damp. If you ever have eggs again, make the substrate damp [ I used vermiculite or sand + vermiculite ] and make an indentation for each egg to set in with your finger. I had almost 100 % hatch rate that way. Maybe you can see in this picture :

You can see mostly on the left how the eggs are sunken in the substrate .

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
