Bearded dragon eggs sinking,what do i do?
they are 2 weeks old eggs now and some are sinking and going mouldie,they are in an incubator at 82-84 f,they are on vermiculite.how do i stop the sinking?
I wouldn't trust anything that people say on here because they might be guessing and that could slaughter the eggs but the safest thing to do is ask a local reptile vet or specialist or maybe your local herp.
Hope this helps and honest luck.

To start with some people on here do know what theyre proverb. Sinking is a sign of them being ready to hatch, sometimes called pitting. But them going mouldy is different. How long enjoy they been in the incubator? Have you 'candled' the eggs to see if they are fertile? If they are fertile and still going mouldy, later maybe your humidity is too high? Is there wet dripping on the eggs? Sometimes you do get eggs that are layed that are infertile and will wither and die, these are called slugs. I think you have need of to look into breeding a bit more if you wish to pursue it. If the eggs were layed within one group then they may be stuck together so do not remove the slugs, this could damage the good eggs.
Email me whether you have any more concerns.

IF THE EGGS LIKE DENTED ITSZ BCAUSE THERE GONNA COME OUT SOON THAT HOW THEY BRIK THE EGG HAPPENZ TO SNKESZ TOO IF U DONT BELIEVE MII GO ON YOUTUBE
Remove any that sink and go mouldy to a seperate container rather than risk affecting others
They sink slightly when they are about to hatch but that will be after more approaching 8weeks not 2
Are they definitely fertile ie have you got a male/female couple?
Answers: wow! some solid bad answers here. any way some of your eggs are going bad (the moldy ones) and the dimpling ones are probably contained by need of some more hydration(humidity). remove the moldy ones or leave them since they "might" hatch it doesnt matter since a virtuous egg just doesnt want to go bad and trust me, ive hatch some thing out of some moldy eggs, but id up the humidity in your incubator. mold will normaly grow on doomed to failure eggs even if the incubator is to dry to support the eggs(but still moist enough for the mold) so that will explain the conflicting issues(dimpling eggs vs moldy eggs)
p.s. did anyone READ the question? it states the eggs are 2 weeks prehistoric. how are they ready to hatch? some of you guys have got to stop answering question. students should not play teacher
