This needs to be said again.

Your job is to feed her well with lots of calcium.

I have her well fed and doing great. Should I get rid of the one edd that is very sunken in and secreting a little? I don't want it to harm any other eggs but I also don't want to remove it if it has a chance. I am only a week or so into the incubation so would a sunken in egg have any chance? Thanks!

I have to agree with this statement... my incubators are off by a few degrees, the reptipro not so much, but the exoterra is way off. I really don't like the exoterra and have recently bought another reptipro.

I was wondering the same thing? I average 58 - 64 days @ 84.

I'd leave it alone for a bit. I have had eggs hatch that I was positive wouldn't and the baby is doing great! As long as it doesn't smell and doesn't have mold on it, leave it alone. (Someone will correct me if I am incorrect, right? )
