2 eggs in my gecko's moist hide box, how long they were actually in there i don't know :( 3-4 days ago she shed and i didnt take notice of the eggs or her being really skinny (i had noticed for some time she was getting fat, i thought ok either fat or eggs lol) Today when i went to feed her i saw how skinny she was, i thought oh maybe i wasnt feeding enough or was waiting too long between feeds (normally 3-4 days)
My concern right now is this....i know i moved the eggs while sifting thru the hide box, i'm afraid i might have "killed" them, but still moved them into another smaller plastic container with moist medium and a lid with 3 small holes. I guess time will tell if they will survive or not. They feel a bit firm and the one egg has a soft spot. I dont know what other info to give really, but wanted to share this , now i learned my lesson to be more careful while sifting thru moist hide lol..might find a surprise or 2 ;D

No i'm not actually trying to breed, but dont mind a cpl clutches either. My daughters want a cpl babies, after that i might not want anymore unless i know i can find homes for them lol

Has your female been exposed to a male? If you are not "actually trying to breed", I suggest housing your geckos induvidually until you decide you want them to breed them. Keeping a male and female together will guarantee they'll breed.

Many breeders only collect eggs from moist hides/lat boxes on a weekly basis, so if you think there is a possibility of them being fertile, go ahead and incubate them!

Yah i'm thinking they are fertile, my concern was that i might have flipped or moved them too much when i was sifting through the moist hide :( I guess time will tell

You never know, we had 5 eggs get turned about 10 days prior to hatching, and two out of the five have hatched. Two others are on the way, only one went bad. I hope yours turn out good for you as well. Good luck!
