Bearded Dragon Blood
Are my bearded dragon eggs bad?

my orange german giant/red blood bearded dragon is about a year old and mated for the first time. The laying went well and shes eating like a pig again, but i’m not entirely sure if the eggs are okay they are pink and mostly white but out of twelve only a few aren’t sunken in. i added more water today to see if they would fill back up because they have an embryo and everything. the dents aren’t large, but its kinda worrying me. does anyone know whats wrong, if its natural, if its fixable?let me know thanks

I’m guessing the first answerer has never bred reptiles. It’s perfectly fine to touch the eggs. Just mark the top so that they always remain right side up. You definitely don’t want a heat lamp above them. I’ve never heard of this. You don’t want fried eggs! Sunken eggs is a sign of low humidity. Keep them in an airtight container. Opening it once a week will provide enough fresh oxygen for the eggs to survive. Vermiculite or perlite are the best substrates and can be bought in the garden center at Lowe’s or Home Depot. And don’t worry too much about the appearance. I’ve had eggs hatch that I never thought could. Oh, and you can check to see if the eggs are fertile by holding a flashlight up to them and looking for blood vessels on the inside. Infertile eggs don’t have blood vessels. It’s easiest to do this in a completely dark room. And only infertile eggs become moldy.
