HELP!! Partially hatched egg

[RangoDango]

I have a crested egg that appeared to be hatching this morning. It is cracked but nothing had come out of it yet and the egg appears to be beginning to rot. It has gone from white to mostly brownish/grey. Should I attempt to help the little one out or should i just leave it? this is only my second egg.

Chances are if the gecko hasn't come out by now it's dead. I would leave it till tomorrow morning, if it hasn't emerged by then you can open it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the hatchling didn't make it.

thats my fear, ive been keeping a close eye on it since its been approaching the hatching window, and over the last day or so, the egg has gone from solid white to brownish/grey (by the 2 cracks) and fading to solid white (opposite end of the egg).

the cracks are not on the top but on the horizontal line of the egg at one of the tips.

if the gecko is still alive, would opening the egg injure the little one?
