 Sweat beads or dew on eggs????

I have Dragons eggs and box turtle eggs in the incubator, I checked on them this morning to make sure the humidity was ok and noticed one of my turtle eggs had beads/balls of water on it, (just one eggs) what does this mean?
Is it normal or is something wrong in there?
It should be close to time for that egg to hatch the other turtle eggs hatched a few days ago but this eggs was laid 1 week later than the other’s but still it’s close, so what does the dew on that egg mean?

For beardies sweat on the eggs means it is coming close to the time of hatching. BTW...if I were u I would get another incubator and seperate the turtle and beardie eggs. The yold sac and fluids etc can rot in the incubator (it is hot and wet after all) and this can rott ur other eggs. So ja...just my suggestion

I agree that for baerdies that the water droplets or sweat means they are close to hatching....some of my clutches never did this but...here is a good pic of the sweating...Hope this helps...Beth

Well the incubator was for the turtle eggs and then my dragon suprised me early, they are in different containers inside the incubator with lids on. 16 dragon eggs and only 3 turtle eggs, the turtle eggs will be out of there within the week I hope.

But that’s great, that’s what i was needing to know just means they are hatching soon, yay..

Thanks guys..
