There's not really a simple answer to that. We've had "un-noticed" eggs (ones laid out of sight, under hides, etc) that have probably been a couple of days old or more... and they've still done fine when incubated. Even had one that was half dried out, I re-hydrated it carefully for a few days... and now have an egg that candles nice and pink

i found 2 eggs today 1 in the moist hide and 1 in the middle of the viv this one was a nice white colour but deflated quite a bit ive put them in the incubator and put damp moss over it so maybe it will rehydrate fingers crossed

i just found one today
its a nice white colour but was a little deflated at top
whats the best way to make it come up again?
thanks

Try placing a piece of folded damp tissue paper laid over the top of the egg, and then leave it in place overnight until the egg has plumped back up - usually works a treat! (just damp tissue though, not wet )
