Hello! Looking for advise… I have 4 hybrid box turtle eggs in the incubator (three toed/Eastern). Incubator has been set to 84 degrees F, humidity has been about 78% this entire time. I’ve had successful hatches in the past, but this time one egg out of the three has a dent on its side. Today is day 48 they’ve been incubating. All the eggs show life inside when candled. I have heard that sometimes eggs will dent when they’re close to hatching… anyone else have this experience? If so, how long did it take for the baby to hatch once the dent appeared? This particular egg has been dented for 2 days now. The other three are normal in appearance. None have started sweating yet. I’m just anxious and a bit nervous because I hope the baby is ok inside. Thanks for your input!
