Why do eggs look like this?

[Beardienoobie]

Can anyone tell me why my eggs look like this? The 2 are dented and the other 2 look like they have bubbles on them. All 4 are still alive as I've candles and they are moving. The vermiculite is not dry. They Did sweat a few days ago but have stopped and now look like this. Could it be from the sweat? Thanks in advance

I just wanted to reiterate that I Did spray the vermiculite last night around the eggs making sure I didn't get them wet just to make sure it was moist to see if maybe they would plump back up and they didn't. So that's where I'm at. Thanks

Sweat drops or condensation that falls on them might cause that slight bubbling so yes you're correct. The others just needed a little more water if they're shrinking a bit.

Ok. Thank you very much AHBD. I appreciate your help and knowledge. I did have someone else tell me as well that I mark the egg where the pink dot(embryo) is as Up and just wanted to clarify with you as well. Again, I appreciate your help and knowledge and having to answer all my questions.

You're welcome ! Oh, I didn't see any signs that you had marked them.

 

[Beardienoobie]

Oh, no I'm asking where I Do mark them. I see articles that say I'm supposed to mark them how they were layed and others say to find the pink dot and mark That. So I'm just confused. And about the other post, the eggs never plumped back up so I'm stumped. Just let them run their course?

 

[AHBD]

No need to mark them, they are staying put so no reason to so that. I never marked any.
How much water did you add ? Pick up one of the deflating eggs very gently and put it to the side and see how the vermiculite feels. If it's dry, add a small amount of water with an eyedropper or syringe, you don't want to get the eggs wet.

I was going to transfer the eggs to the incubator today. I've seen that they need to be marked but I didn't do that for the first clutch and they did fine. So I'll just make sure I don't turn them or anything when I transfer them. And the vermiculite feels fine underneath.
