I just had one of my geckos lay her eggs today and they look good, but I was babysitting my freinds gravid leo for a few days and took her back two days ago. I was cleaning out the cage she was in and found two eggs that must have been at room temp(about75f) for 2 days or so, they are whitish and shrunken in, I was wondering if these might still be viable? I put them in my incubator anyway. I can post a pic if necessary.

Offhand I'd say the questionable ones aren't good anymore. However, don't pitch them just yet. I've had some healthy geckos hatch out of eggs that normally would have been pitched. Keep them until they hatch, collapse, stink or explode.

the eggs are now plumped out, I think they just needed some water, they now look ok except they are brownish but that may be from the vermiculite they are in

eggs still look ok they havent shriveled back up, but are smaller than the other eggs, they dont smell or look really collapsed though so there is still some hope, the other eggs look as though they are still doing really good.
