Some look smaller, they arent really, they are all oblong, its just that they are 'head-on' to the camera if you know what I mean

If you were asking about my eggs, then it's eco-earth and sand stuck to them. I prefer to leave a little debris on my eggs than risk damaging them by giving them a clean!
In case anyone hadn't figured it out, it's a tic tac on the left.......I put it in there for size reference. Lol

Eggs only normally dent when they are too dry. You have put a lid of water in to evaporate into the air and the tissue on top but the vermiculite/perlite/moss you are using could still be too dry. If you are sure the substance is wet enough then sounds like they may have died if they were fertile to begin with. Really up the humidity see if they plump up, if they do then give them a chance.

No pictures yet, I'm afraid, but my Anery het Glacier Stripe female corn Mica has just finished laying her clutch for the year - and I really don't know where she was hiding all twenty-four eggs.
