help - egg viable or non-viable? is this normal??

[maddison.luvvv]

This is my first time breeding leopard geckos, or any geckos for that matter, and my female recently laid a singular egg (you can still see the other one in her stomach) and it has a singular blood vessel that i can see from candling. The egg is white, but the sides are sunken in. This is her first time being bred, and she's back to a healthy appetite so i don't think the other egg is coming out anytime soon. Is this normal, and should I keep the egg in incubation?

When I was breeding I always kept the eggs in incubation until it either hatched or collapsed. Some really good looking eggs aren't viable and the opposite can be true as well.

I don't know anything about breeding/egg laying geckos, but with tortoises all the eggs that are ready to be laid are deposited at the same time. I wonder if this last egg might be too big for the canal. You might talk to a gecko-knowledgeable vet about it.
