eggs colapsed..how long till pip
I have 2 leopard gecko eggs incubating and they have collapsed from underneath and almost not at all from the top. Is this a sign that they are going to hatch..their still very white. If it is, how long do I have until they hatch? Thanks!

Uh, not that I'm an expert, but that sounds bad to me... I could be wrong, but if they look good just leave them. They may need more moisture to rehydrate. Hope this helped, and good luck with them!

I am beginning to conclude that there was not enough vermiculite so I added more moist verm. under the egg in hopes to get it rehydrated. Do you suggest dropping a tiny bit of water on the actual egg itself?

I don't think it would hurt to mist the eggs, but I wouldn't suggestion dropping water on them... It sounds like they need to rehydrate... how old are the eggs??? Hope this helps!

Im not to sure as I didnt think they would be fertile so I didnt bother remembering the date, but I would say their at 5 weeks if not more.

Just don't toss them until they get all brown and moldy, then you know FOR SURE, without a doubt that those eggs are bad. It could be they just need more humidity. Keep a close eye on them!

Wet paper towel, and cover the eggs with them.
make sure you wring out the towel till it feels almost dry.
