Sounds like it isn't humid enough, try laying a moist paper towel over them. Can you take a pic of them?

+1 needs more humidity. Wherever you read on how to incubate them im sure there were pics. If not then check out albeys page on how to incubate eggs...she has pics posted. http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm

Just to be sure, do you have a "lay box" for the girls to dig in, and what's that like? do you have moist material in there? Also, if you don't have a lay box where did she lay them? You may know what I'm getting at but it never hurts to ask, eh?

she layed the eggs on reptile carpet we then put them in a plastic container with perlite also added water to the correct ratio that everyone has put on the forums we dont have a incubator so we just made our own with a thermometer with a probe and keeping the temp between 80 and 85 so there is enough humidity but the eggs shrunk in so is that a bad thing? also her last two eggs we had did the same thing

Do you have a box in her cage that has moist, loose substrate in it?

Also, if your gecko poops in a specific spot (usually) did she lay it very close to that spot. I'm not entirely sure how it works but sometimes don't "dud" eggs get discarded where they poop? I am sorry if this guess is the case.

If not, follow Khrysty's (and I'm sure that of many others) moist, loose substrate. Good luck and keep us posted.
