ive got eggs this morning from my female but i dont know if they are good..the gecko was still in the laying container as i saw them but the eggs were wrinkled..i took the mom out and i moistened the vermiculite a little more and then i put them on a warm heat pad until i can bring them to an incubator however now one looks like it is okay sorta but the other one is still wrinkled...does this mean its bad or should i try to incubate anyway?

I'm not sure but I think you can lay a wet paper towel over the top to rehydrate it. But I think you have to be careful that it doesn't stick to the egg. I'm not really sure if that works, I just think I read it somewhere.

I would recommend moistening the vermiculite and bringing it up to cover 3/4 of the egg. Do you have a lid on the container they are currently in? If it is just open over a heat pad there won't be much in the way of ambient humdity, it will just evaporate and dry out. Either way, incubate them regardless. If you think an egg is bad, incubate it anyways, until it is all wrinkly, mishapen and moldy :D Also like rev mentioned, candling will tell you if its fertile or not. But as he mentioned, wait a while before attempting this, you need to give the egg a chance to harden its outer shell first :) Good luck with your lil eggies ;)
