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?
Some advice on an egg please!

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 .
