: Hey,

: My black rat snake laid 17 eggs one week ago. Several of them, probably 40%, have dimpled. They haven't collapsed but a couple of them have pretty deep dimples. Will they do that if they are too damp? I can't imagine they are too dry.
: I had a clutch hatch last fall. But I don't remember if this happened or not. Just curious if this is normal.

It sound like to your eggs r too dry.When my eggs get to dry I spray a lite mist of room temp water on them I also keep a small full glass of water w/my eggs I place it in the corner of my eggs container if u try this u should have condinsation on the wall and top of your container. good herping p.s. keep us up dated dave
