She laid her clutch about a day or 2 ago but I missed it and unfortunately she laid the clutch outside of the hide box in a hole so I just now found the eggs. Humidity is at 34% in the tank. The eggs were collapsed but both had red veins in them and didn't smell. So I went ahead and put them in the incubator but my ? Is are they ok still or did I lose them?

Time will tell. I know it's hard, but just leave them in the incubator until they either stink or hatch. I do have to say that I haven't had much luck with eggs laid outside the box unless I catch them right away.

Most of the time eggs that aren't laid in the box are infertile anyhow. There's a chance they are okay though! Most you can do is wait and hope!

Unfortunately I opened the tub tonight to notice a smell of what might b rotting eggs but I can't determine which egg it is so I think I'm going to give them another day or so and keep my fingers crossed.

Lots of females lay an infertile clutch as their first. You may have done absolutely nothing wrong, they just have a learning curve when its their first time breeding and making eggs. Good luck with the next clutch!
