Gecko just laid eggs, no incubator!

[SaintViruss]

Hey everyone. As of a few weeks ago, I could see that my female leopard gecko was pregnant. I put In a laying box for her, with Eco earth being the substrate. Within a week, I started seeing dirt being flung out of the box, so I knew she was almost ready to lay. For whatever reason, I never thought if getting the incubator ready earlier, and now I am heavily regretting that. I woke up today, to see 2 white eggs in the tank. One in the hide, and one by the water. I will be able to make one, just not until around 3 when my mother gets home and she can drive me to go get the right supplies. I carefully picked up both eggs so that I could inspect them, and I noticed a few little dent ins on each of the eggs. I looked it up online and it means that they are either dead or the egg is just dehydrated. Thinking they are just dehydrated because I use sand, I got a Tupperware container with a lid, filled it about 2-3 inches with Eco earth and began to moisten it. I carefully put the eggs in there making sure not to flip them over, and put the lid on. I then placed it under a high lamp. I guess I am just asking, is there still a possibility that the eggs will survive? Are there any other things I should do in the mean time? Like I said, the thing I had just made was only temporary until I can get my hands on some vermiculite and some other things.
I'm just really freaking out and worried! Thanks!

There's nothing much more you can do than what you've done. If you have a digital thermometer with a probe you could check on the temp of the eggs you're already incubating and then set up the incubator at a similar temperature.

Okay. Is it good what I have done so far? Is there a chance at them still living?

It depends on whether they were fertile to begin with, how high the humidity is and how steady the temperatures are. There's always a chance.
