So I was checking my eggs and I put the deli cup on top of the incubator for one second to grab my spray bottle. The incubator hangs off the shelf in my closet. It stayed fine for a sec, then tipped when i turned around.

The eggs fell. They remained inside the closed deli cup the whole time. I think the perlite padded them. I dont think they had time to drown--did they? I immediately reset them and put them back in the incubator. They looked fine. Two of them should be just days away from hatching.

did I kill them?

Jason, they should be OK. Several years ago, my husband accidently knocked over a Hovabator and every deli cup fell. I reset the eggs, and every one of them hatched.

Hopefully not. Did you mark the eggs so you can tell which side is up? If you did and the eggs are properly righted you might be Ok if the Impact was not to bad. Good luck hope evrything works out.

i marked them, yes. I also assume they are well past the mushy embryo state and the little geckos inside just got a wild ride if they survived.
