I have tried to incubate several Leopard gecko eggs this year and have had no luck, they all shriveled up.
I switched methods to the one shown at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm and have seemed to keep the eggs growing pretty well and now it is time for the first two to hatch which have been in since 4/4/07 at an average of 86 deg. Now they are not looking so good they have been having condensation on them and one is looking like it is getting very thin in spots and starting to shrivel a tiny bit. Any advice?

Well, the one was starting to smell and look really bad and I could tell it had died. I opened it up and it looked like it was about full term. I am not sure about the other one from the same clutch. They both looked like they were about to pop and then they started looking bad.
So, what could be the causes of them being about full-term and then dying before hatch?
Was I checking them to much or did I candle them to frequently? Are those possible causes?
