Banded Gecko laid 2 eggs: Seeking Help

Hi. Just around two weeks ago I saved a small banded gecko from the jaws of my dog. It lost half of its tail then, so I wanted to help take care of it. I have the proper ten gallon tank: one hot side with a UTH, one cool side, two hides, and a piece of driftwood that she likes to hide under. There is a shallow dish of water and a bottle cap full of calcium supplement. Her tail is growing back just fine, with the small, pink tip growing.

But, today very recently I just spotted two eggs she was laying on on one corner of the warm side. She must have laid them today, since I didn't notice any eggs last night. There are two, with some places that looks like the egg shell didn't form all the way. I'm trying to look up any info, but it's quite hard. Please help!

Look up breeding information about leopard geckos and proceed that way. In general they need a place where the temperature will remain stable within a degree or two at 80-88 and where the humidity will be over 80%. In most cases that is an incubator. If you can't provide such a place the eggs will probably not hatch and may also not be fertile to begin with.

Good luck,

Thank you. I placed the eggs in a small plastic container with a lid and some damp moss. I also placed some moss over the eggs.

But, they aren't quite nice. The eggs seem to be transparent, as they are a yellow shade and getting wrinkly. Does that mean they are infertile?

[E]- I raised the temperature, and the eggs plumped right back up. They also seem to be getting some white color back.

E2: Hmmm, one looks long than the other its stuck to. Is this a good sign it is fertile?
