if they are not due to haych yet then your humidity is to low get some damp moss and put over the eggs ..........what are you keeping the eggs in ? does it have a lid ? how much ventilation ?

A batch of my eggs are caving in, but I've only had this problem once before.

Are you sure putting damp moss on them wont drown them?

nope it wont drown them, its only going to be damp...put round the eggs and a small amount over the eggs..you should find that withen 24 hours they are fine....you can then remove the moss from ontop the eggs and just leave it around the sides of the tub

there still in there viv with mum and dad because i got told it was to late to move them (went away for a week came back to find them) as they would drown inside the egg?

[DazedLewis]

you can move them if you are very careful and dont turn them or shake them. It might be a bit risky leaving them in there because the parents might disturb them.

i would remove them to an incubator...just be very careful not to turn them...the temps and humidity may not be right for the eggs...do you have an incubator ? where abouts in the viv are the eggs

take the eggs away from the parents just be carful not to turn them put them in a tub with some damp sphanum moss and put them in a incubator if you dont have a incubator you can put the tub in a viv

IF you don't move them an incubate them they will probably die off.

Ignore advice if you want but why as for it just to ignore it?
