my leopard gecko just laid 2 eggs. this is the second time this year, the last 2 were her first but they ended up dying. i cant tell if these eggs are fertile or not. i dont have the money to buy an incubator so i just put the eggs in a glass cup with moss in it and ceran wrap on top (with pooked holes in it for air flow) i put the cup in the cage under the heating lamp. i dont know what to do with them and i dont understand how to tell if they are fertile or not, can anyone help me out?

The eggs need 2 things in order to hatch:

--steady temperature somewhere between 80-88 degrees
--humidity about 80-90% which you can achieve by moistening the egg container and covering it.

I don't know if they'll hatch the way you have them now. If they're fertile and you can meet the 2 conditions above, they may hatch.

There are a few ways to tell if the eggs are fertile, but the best bet is to wait until they either hatch or stink. Then you'll know for sure.
