I just got some new geckos from someone 'downsizing' their 'collection'. I'm new to Geckos and even I knew when I got there that this guy was doin it all wrong. Multiple lizards in 1 tank.. adult and juvenile together etc. He said the female may be pregnant. There was a large male, small 'adult' female and a 4-6 month male. Well.. the female does indeed have eggs. Took them to my friend to check after I got them. But if she is an adult, she was too small to have been placed with a male. Then I find out the juvenile that was male, is in fact female.. AND has 2 eggs as well! !! I'm so afraid that they're gonna die now Cuz they may not be able to pass the eggs. :-(

Can you upload any pictures? Seeing the size of each female will help a lot 
It's ok to have multiple leo's in one tank, so long as there is enough room and they are all female (breeding intentions aside).
At the very least, if you can separate the male from the other two that will help a lot. If all three could have their own enclosure, rock on! They might only lay a few eggs, and keeping the females away from the male will help make sure of that. It will also keep them less stressed.
Aside from that, if you can provide them both with a capful of calcium without D3 it will provide them with extra nutrients throughout the process.
Plus, lots of food! They will need to be dusted as well, depending on which brand you're using they can be dusted with every day (Repashy's Calcium Plus) or every other day.
Eventually they will need a laybox for the eggs, and if you want them to hatch an incubator of some kind.
I'm sure someone with experience breeding will offer more insight.

He had originally thought the juvenile was a male. and put it in with a big adult male and a small supposed adult female. and when i told him it was in fact a female and not a male.. he said oh, he didnt realize a female could get pregnant so young. I know you can put females together or a male up to 3 females depending on tank size.
