Question time between hatching?

as i wrote in my previous posts i had a baby leo hatch on the 20th of this month it is now the 22nd and its clutch mate hasnt hatched yet. The egg has dented quite a bit so i sprayed into the corner to up the humidity.
What is the average time between clutchmates hatching?
Does the denting sound bad or does this happen before they hatch?
thanks in advance

Denting usually means it's soon to hatch. Have you candled the egg? Denting also happens when infertile but if it's only just started to dent it's more than likely going to hatch soon. Also there isn't a set time between clutchmates, I've had a pair, one hatched and the other hatched two weeks later no worse for wear. Don't worry too much, it's dented and if fertile should hatch soon but don't get antsy and pierce the egg, just wait

not sure but they normally start to sweat and then dent in when they start to hatch and then it tears, but some of my pairs have hatched a week apart, i have a pair at the moment where one hatched 3 days ago and the other hasnt.

I have never noticed sweating but I have kitchen roll on top of mine so that would soak it up. All my pairs have hatched within 1 day of each other but I'm sure it differs greatly.

i had 8 babies hatch 2 weeks ago and 2 today from same clutch of beardie eggs so i wouldnt worry too much about the leo eggs and the denting is normal can dent a week or so before they actually decide to pop out
