Shocking title, but direct and to the point. This was odd, and now that the lizard is a healthy several weeks old dragon I feel it's time to post about it. In the incubator sat an egg, its brothers and sisters hatched and much time had passed. Next to the egg were two more.
My newest helper was curious about what was inside of the "unfertile eggs" and I was slightly curious too, though I expected just yellow goo, and I have opened one a long while back but could not answer definitively. I grabbed one of these left over eggs just sitting there and let my helper cut it open, and sure enough a baby bearded dragon sat underdeveloped inside of the egg. The yoke was untouched, the dragon had it's eyes open and moved just slightly.
Out of curiosity, and for my now-shocked helpers’ satisfaction, I set up a dish, with a damp paper towel and placed the dragon back into the incubator. Several days later the yoke sack was gone, a few more days it was actively trying to escape from the dish, and now, well, it's gone to a new home.
The dragon never seemed to struggle and I found this situation completely unique. I thought I would share
