My female leopard gecko just laid her first set of eggs this year but one has a slight indentation in it is it still viable. Also I wont have an incubator for another day or two are ther anythings i can do to make sure the eggs are okay

Put some moist not wet vermiculite in a plastic container make 2 dents with your thumbs set the eggs in dents and cover with surrounding vermiculite covering about half way up the eggs put the lid on it and it should rehydrate. set on shelf in closet till incubator arrives. Make sure vermiculite is not too wet or dry. It should clump when squeezed together in your hand but not drip. Depending how long til incubator comes just open container lid weekly for fresh air to get in. GL

Im not an expert but I would suggest increasing the humidity of whatever your using to keep the eggs in, it sounds like they are just losing moisture. Good luck!
