Mouldy eggs? ??

Edit 2: Gave them to my little sister to bury in the back yard. RIP possible babies ?

Edit: They are starting to dent a lot even with the humidity they're at. I'm 99% sure they're infertile and that's why they got mouldy and dented lots now. Also they're just about covered in mould, I'm scared to wipe it all off.. When do I know when to dump them?

Yesterday when I checked my leo's eggs they had a bit of white stuff on them that looked like mould. I wiped it off gently and looked again today and there was more, I did the same thing.

Their humidity is at 90% I know it's too high but for some reason I couldn't get it lower unless it went low enough to dry out the substrate completely.

So adjusting the humidity isn't helping.

I don't even know if they're fertile.. But just in case they're in a little container with damp eco-earth on the hot side of the geckos tank (incubator is coming within the next two weeks)

My mom says to mist them with microbes (kind of like vinegar, we use it for cleaning and it takes away mould I guess) but I'm not sure it would be safe for the eggs.

Please help.

Eggs that are covered with mold have probably gone bad. If the temperature fluctuates too much in the container they're in, even fertile eggs can go bad. That said, people have successfully hatched leopard gecko eggs that remained in the enclosure. Good luck with the next clutch.

Thanks. We ordered an incubator a couple of days ago so it should be coming before the next clutch is hatched. So I hope they have a better chance.
