Last week I got four mediterranean house geckos, 1 male and 3 females. Last night I had looked at them all and realized that one of the females has what looks like two eggs. If they are eggs hat should I do?

There isn't much you really have to do besides wait. When I lived in Florida I would find their eggs (and Anoles too) all over the place, they seemed to really like hiding them in bromeliads. You should be able to just leave them in place, but if you pull the eggs be very careful, they are tiny and delicate. Fruit flies are probably your best bet for feeding the babies.

They should be fine at the normal tank temperature range.

OK this should be my last question, will my other house geckos eat the eggs or hatchlings?
