Well it depends, from what ive been told the first clutch of eggs is usually infertile but not always, so realistically if all 3 females havent laid before then they may well be infertile however there is still a chance that they are fertile.

Even then its impossible to determine if the female has laid before as they may be Wild Captured or may have laid eggs before but another gecko has broken them and ate the shells/yolk.

Either way id keep all eggs incubated until atleast 2 weeks after the Incubation period is over, that way you can be sure there was no late hatchers that you may have otherwise binned.

If you candle the eggs and they are infact fertile and the egg passes the incubation period by 3 - 4 days then id suggest breaking the top off the egg as the gecko may be having trouble hatching itself.

Just whatever you do keep in mind that the eggs are incubating for different times as some were laid later than others, so to be on the safeside keep each geckos eggs separated that way there is absolutely no way you will open the wrong eggs thinking they were long overdue.

Also if you know when each egg was laid it would be an idea to write the date on a piece of paper and stick it in the incubator next to the eggs from that date.

If you know each eggs date also calculate the day they will hatch that way you can be prepared, If all 6 do infact end up fertile you will need 1 or 2 more tanks(Depending on size) for them until they hit the 3 month period(Can be earlier if you want) when they can be put back in the same viv as the parents if wanted.

The main reason I am sayin 3 - 4 days is that you may have found the eggs a day or 2 after they were laid.

I usually keep them on paper until they've completed their first shed. Then move them to sand. These guys dig like crazy from day one. They just seem more comfortable on sand. Keep them well fed and supplemented and you shouldn't have a problem.
